The gig economy gets a lot of negative press, but is it actually a bad thing? Although some think it is synonymous with income insecurity and bad management practices, in fact for many it is the way they choose to work. For professional workers who have in-demand skills, working on a gig basis rather than accepting one job can be more lucrative and give them more control of their time. For employers, using gig workers allows them the right workers to do the work they need rather than pay workers to be on staff and then assign them tasks.

My guest on the show today is Marion McGovern. Marion was the founder and CEO of M Squared Consulting, one of the first gig economy talent intermediaries before the term was even coined.  She also founded Collabrus, a company focused on independent contractor compliance.  Marion is the author of A New Brand of Expertise: How Independent Consultants, Free Agents, and Interim Managers Are Transforming the World of Work.  Her new book is Thriving in the Gig Economy. So much has changed in the world of work in the past five years. Technology firms including Uber, Airbnb, TaskRabbit and Instacart have created a new 'gig economy', which is rarely out of the headlines.  But most of the media focus is on the low end of the skill spectrum; little attention is being paid to the best-in-class professionals who have chosen an independent path.  In this episode, I chat to Marion about how the gig economy differs from the sharing economy, whether millennials fit into the gig economy differently to baby boomers, the role of the individual in this new workplace, how the gig economy can be a positive force for all involved, where best in class professionals fit in, and much more.
