This business model is proving valuable for many businesses today, especially those that fall under the gig economy.

The gig economy is no longer an emerging employment sector—it’s a rearing giant that’s grown exponentially in the last couple of years.In fact, the latest statistics from the Pew Research Center, a non-partisan research organisation, show that 8% of Americans earned money from working short-term projects or “gigs” in 2015. They include online and labour jobs like data entry, package delivery, cleaning, laundry and other services.

McKinsey Global Institute had similar findings. Its 2016 report showed that 162 million people in Europe and the US took gig jobs, whether for leisure or as a primary source of income.

This growing population has penetrated the corporate sector, as well. Recruiters are now hiring freelancers based on their skill set because it’s an efficient alternative to growing and cultivating in-house talent.Unfortunately, this is creating a shake-up with traditional HR management systems.

Unit4 Asia Pacific, with its flexible platform, provides a solution for businesses that employ freelancers.

Unit4 Asia Pacific’s human resource database management system enables HR offices to record employee information, monitor productivity, and streamline the payroll process regardless if they are full-time workers or freelancers. The software boasts an “elastic foundation” which allows clients to customise segments even if they have limited IT expertise.

This capability enhances a company’s workforce management regardless of the employment status of its workers.

“The Unit4 People Platform offers a whole new level of capabilities designed around the needs of people, enabling you to harness the latest advances in key technologies,” it says on the company’s website.
