Option #1: A New Type of Economy
Some believe our world is entering a seismic shift in employment, with fewer jobs, fewer full-time employees, and fewer benefits offered to those employees who are fortunate to have gainful employment. Given this belief, write a 3-5-page paper organized using the following structure and section headers:
Section 1: Introduction. Discuss the principal changes that are occurring in today’s employment market, including the levels of employment, part-time jobs, employee benefits, etc.
Section 2:Gig Economy Impact on Organizations and Employees. Discuss how this proposed new “gig” economy will affect organizations and employees alike.
Section 3: Implications for Human Resources Management. Discuss how the role of HR will change/transition in this new economy. For instance, how will HR’s traditional responsibilities (e.g., recruitment, compensation, discipline, labor relations, etc.) be affected by the transition to a new employment type/classification.
Section 4: Conclusion
Additional requirements:
Write a 3-5-page paper, or about 1100 words, not including the title and reference pages, which are required.
You must support your analysis with at least three scholarly references and can include resources from this course.
