If 5 years ago people combined several jobs to increase their income, today they are more looking for parallel projects to be able to devote themselves to their interests and achieve a balance between professional and private life.
A trend observed around the world. Employees are no longer loyal to a single company or even to an industry. No, they are looking for a life multi-activity “which will allow them to develop fully. A French study also reveals that for 69% of workers “it is good to have several activities at the same time”. Yes the spa “cutting machine” has not yet entered the customs, this is how these employees who want to multiply their sources of income define themselves.
As a result, a new generation of workers has emerged. the corporate nomad has established itself in the world of work and has given new impetus to the corporate culture.
Because the concept of Corporate nomad “ it’s trendy?
The corporate nomads they are people who, while maintaining a full-time job in their organization, work in parallel part-time on projects more or less distant from their main sector of activity.
Therefore, nomadic employees can easily indulge their passion without leaving their full-time job. Those who choose this type of career are constantly learning new skills, gaining flexibility, increasing their income and managing their time independently without fear of losing their main job.
However, many employees refuse to take the step of multi-business, considering the risk too high. Slashers have to manage several projects and risk, in the absence of effective management of their time, to lose the projects but also their main work.
The relationship between the company and the slasher
With the current employment situation, where recruiting is hyper-competitive, companies have learned to adapt to these changes and have no choice but to support employees who opt for this form of contract. To ensure the balance between management and employees, many rely on trusted partnerships.
This new trend represents an opportunity for both employees and companies, who take advantage of the new knowledge acquired by their employees to increase their agility and attractiveness.
How does the culture of corporate nomad is it a virtuous question for companies?
In addition to the competitive aspect of recruiting, corporate nomads allow companies to extend their network but also to increase their visibility.
The integration of slashing in the company depends on the well-being of the employees. Organizations offering this type of opportunity therefore have a significant advantage in terms of attractiveness and Employer Branding.
With the advent of hybrid work, borders are gradually breaking down, which allows companies to tap into a larger pool of talent to develop in new French and international markets.
Facilitated by the pandemic and the digital transformation initiated by companies, the recruitment of international slasher appears to be a sustainable alternative to the talent shortage currently experienced by many sectors.
The flexibility of a company, a decisive criterion for candidates
Today, workers are more attracted to interprofessional experiences and to learning transversal skills. They are therefore likely to prefer an organization with asynchronous working methods rather than a traditional corporate culture.
Likewise, candidates will prefer a company that provides technology tools to streamline their daily life, such as e-signature solutions or screen recording tools that reduce the number of meetings.
With the right tools and a sufficient level of flexibility, employees can structure their agenda according to their habits, whether it’s early risers, late nights, or side projects they pursue. They gain control so they can focus on what they love to do while remaining productive and motivated for their main job.
