“Liquid workers” who flow where they are needed, project by project, are about to transform a tech industry where layoffs have brought a new demand for efficiency, multiple researchers believe.
COVID variants have spoiled the in-person party again and again. Management has called for on-site work, and workers have pushed back. Keeping track of staff has become a daily guessing game.
In a report titled “The fluid workforce revolution,” the industry think tank Capgemini Research Institute found, “With the COVID-19 situation, organizations are questioning the composition of the workforce, and not just from a virtual vs. on-premise perspective, but also from fluid vs. fixed workers. The search for talent has indeed become fluid.”
First there was the great migration home for remote work during the shelter-in-place period of the COVID-19 pandemic, and by all accounts, the workers nailed it. Productivity soared; cybersecurity held; Amazon and Doordash and Netflix sustained a homebound nation. Now there is a new buzz word in tech: Efficiency. Startups need to show investors an effective path to profitability. Public companies need to show stockholders sustained growth.
