Navigate the Gig Economy to Fit Your Talent Strategy

ABOUT THIS MEETING

Kelly Services President & CEO George Corona and EY Detroit Office Managing Partner George Lenyo addressed the Detroit Economic Club on March 28, 2018 and discussed the gig economy.

Because flexibility is important to today’s workforce, Corona urged employers to adapt accordingly. “If you want to bring in a younger workforce, you’re going to have to have more open environments, they like to collaborate, they like to work together. You also have to enable it with technology.”

Lenyo said EY experiments with new technological advances by utilizing contractors. “We may have a project where we want to start with a new technology but it is unproven, unsure so we would rather reach to the gig economy and use a contractor before we decide we are going to build that practice.”
