Abstract

The paper discusses the changing nature of careers today and how organisations ought best to respond to this scenario. The advantages of participating in the gig economy and how it impacts employees and organisations are discussed against a backdrop of signalling theory. Organisational practices addressing work-life balance issues, inclusion and diversity, job autonomy, flexibility, attractive compensation packages, and fostering an employability culture are all highlighted as positive signals. Conversely, negative signals, such as, in extreme cases, appearing to have a hire-to-fire policy, should be avoided. This paper highlights the need for further research into the factors influencing talented individuals’ decisions to return to full-time work and the strategies organisations can use to attract them.
