This is the question interim management firm Russam GMS will ask, alongside with entrepreneurial community magazine and events organiser Angel News, at the jointly-hosted The Great British Workforce Revolution… Going it alone as an Independent in London on 16 October.
Office for National Statistics data shows that of a 29.7m-strong UK workforce, 46.5% are not full-time employees, either because they work part-time, or on a self-employed, temporary, or other ‘non-standard’ basis.
The event will look at why workers do not take conventional full-time roles, examine who these people are and aid attendees in winning and developing work.
It will also, says Charles Russam, chairman of Russam GMS, provide “a better understanding of the size and nature of the off-payroll and flexible workforce, as very little is currently understood about this growing band of people”.
