Topic

Independent Contractors or Employees?
Defining New Employment Relationships

Managing employment relations has become an issue of huge strategic importance as organizations struggle to respond to the pace of change in management systems and working practices. Employment arrangements are being re-drawn in a variety of ways. These include the rising role of outside hiring and lateral moves in shaping and managing careers, increased career uncertainty, and much greater variety in organizational structures – even within industries and professions.
