As a small business owner, it can be difficult to reach the same level of success as a larger corporation on the market. There are various issues to contend with in a competitive marketplace. Costs need to be kept to a minimum, while promoting internal and external growth of your company in new and exciting ways, and offering fresh services and solutions to clients. If you become stagnant within the market, then your business will be forgotten and replaced with a fiercer and more active competitor. Running a small business is in many respects a balancing act.
The world is changing. A fast-paced and technologically led world market abhors inertia and while automation, virtualization and the increasingly widespread use of AI are all exciting prospects for businesses of all shapes and sizes, it’s time to address the elephant in the room. While technological evolution can certainly drive efficiency, we must work to ensure that it does not come at a human cost. There are numerous industries which have made significant layoffs as a result of increased automation or simple economic necessity.In an ever-changing technological landscape, in which we regularly pontificate on what is possible and what is inevitable, businesses and their workforces alike must concern themselves not with the ‘future of work’ but with the futures of workers.Conversations about the ‘future of work’ may make for some pithy editorial think-pieces or twee websites that will tell users exactly how redundant their skills will be in 50 years’ time but they do little to address the fundamental industrial and socioeconomic cost of an increasingly redundant workforce or corporate structures that habitually sideline skilled front-line workers. Indeed, it could be argued that these conversations have exacerbated the problem, creating a sense of looming catastrophe that is more concerned with the future-proofing of corporate structures than with creating sustainable futures for skilled workers.

What’s the solution to this dilemma? One component includes utilizing the gig economy, which has been a solution that small business owners have seen great benefits from. By hiring freelancers instead of full-time workers on permanent contracts, small businesses are able to cut spending in their company through a more flexible business model. Through this article, we will address the practical applications of the gig economy and how your business can benefit from hiring freelancer engineers.
