FWA would like to thank Aberdeen Standard Investments for the generous use of their space and F&B for this event
Freelancer? Gig Worker? Nomad Worker? Or will you still be in your full-time job 10 years from now?
This lunchtime talk features Wendy Baker, a partner with ICE Professional Asia Pte Ltd, who will share with FWA members insights on the what a ‘Gig Economy’ means, how this affects current employees in the finance industry, as well as how to make the most out of what the Gig Economy has to offer.
With the rise of the flexible workforce – or Gig-Economy – organisations will need to adapt to a new style of working or risk being left behind. This will challenge companies with more traditional cultures, and indeed the broader community including private and public sector policy. Traditional categorisation of job descriptions is being broken down, where corporations can creatively divide work into skills-based tasks.
Topics that will be covered in this lunchtime session include:
-
The dual business environments – financial industry, corporates, and SME companies
-
The trends for Millennials and Gen Zs
-
The wider impacts and benefits of gig workers
