It’s a new year, and an opportunity for a fresh start. New goals have been set and whether that means improving on parts of your business, or starting a brand new adventure. This week’s Gig Economy News is about finding new ideas and ways to improve your business.

Shake Up Your Workforce

If you’re running a small or medium sized business (SMB) you might feel overwhelmed with the amount of work that falls on you and your employees, but not be ready to expand your team. Or, you might have a project which requires a specific skill set that your company doesn’t have, but which you also don’t need for the long term. Hiring freelancers is not just for entrepreneurs, it can be a major help for businesses of all sizes. Check out our article on why freelancers are the future for SMB’s.

Crisis Averted
