Did you know that an estimated 35-40% of the global workforce will be classified as independent workers by 2025? So what does this mean for the future of organisations? And what does it mean for HR leaders who have to navigate this massive shift? In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green sits down with two industry experts to discuss this very topic. Joining him are Lynda Gratton, Professor of Management Practice at London Business School and Founder of HSM Advisory, and Diane Gherson, former CHRO at IBM and board member for several top companies.

Both Lynda and Diane are well-known visionaries in the field of HR. Together, they have joined forces to write two insightful articles in Harvard Business Review (see links below) that explore the implications of this growing trend. Today, they share their experiences and perspectives on how organisations can adapt to the rise of independent workers, and what HR leaders need to do to manage this new workforce landscape effectively.

Listening to this podcast episode, you can be sure to gain insights on:

• The factors driving the rapid increase in freelance work and how technology is enabling this transformation
• The impact of a blended workforce on organisational structures and the evolving role of managers
• Practical strategies for HR leaders to adapt workforce planning and recruitment processes to integrate freelancers effectively
• The importance of building the right cultural infrastructure to support a diverse and dynamic workforce

This is an episode for every HR leader who wants to ensure a successful integrated approach to merging external and internal talent effectively.
