Lose Job, Gain Productivity
Insurance Journal | May 8, 2023
The traditional job as we know it is slowly being replaced by skills-based work models. Could the shift help you recapture productivity?
When it rains, it pours. The labor market was already strained in some industries prior to 2020. Add a pandemic, increasing inflation, and the Great Resignation phenomenon and that strain has become a downright crisis.
