The HUGE growth of the gig economy has created challenges for companies. All of a sudden, they needed to figure out how to manage this new flexible workforce. That’s where AllWork comes in. In the latest UpTech Report, our CEO Glenn Laumeister, discusses the platform we built to help manage a 21st-century workforce. Here are some of his key takeaways from the episode:

Back in 2009, Uber exploded on the scene and created a completely new way for people to work. They launched the Gig Economy and created an entirely new employment model.  For the first time, workers could earn income with no commitment to their employer. Uber drivers could wake up in the morning and they alone could decide to turn on the app and go to work and make money or stay at home and watch TV.  In the old model, your employer scheduled you for days, weeks, or sometimes even months in advance, and if you wanted to keep your job you stuck to that schedule no matter what. Now, with Uber and other on-demand work apps, the balance of power has shifted, and the workers decide to turn on their app and go to work, or not.
