Asynchronous work is a way of working that doesn’t require everyone to be at work at the same time. And when it’s done right, it can improve productivity, boost retention and lay the groundwork for successful, fruitful collaboration. Interested? Read on for our full guide to asynchronous work — and why you should be doing it.
There’s a misconception that contingent equals short-term, and that there’s no point in trying to retain an independent contractor, freelancer or consultant since they’ll be moving on to their next contract in a few months anyway. But the truth is that many of these professionals have long-lasting relationships with their clients. They may work for the same organisation for a long time, or return to them multiple times over a period of several years.
A positive culture might develop organically in an in-person setting through shared experiences, collaboration and team-building activities. But it’s a lot more complicated when employees are spread out across the country — or even further afield.

Engaging temporary workers can save your organisation money, give you access to high-quality talent, and help you to build flexibility into your operations.

For many organisations, the solution is to enlist the help of a managed service provider, or MSP.
These days, the top job candidates have a lot of options open to them — and many businesses are struggling to make quality hires. If you’re having trouble filling roles at your company, it’s easy to believe that the talent you need just isn’t out there.
But what if you’re looking in the wrong place?
Thanks to rapid improvements in communication technology over the past decade or so — and a shift in perspective brought about by the pandemic — more and more companies are no longer considering location as a key factor in their hiring decisions.
When you open your eyes to hiring international employees, you’re no longer limited to the few hundred people with the right qualifications who happen to live within commuting distance of your office. Suddenly, you have a pool of thousands of skilled, talented professionals to target.
And hiring internationally has plenty of other benefits too.
If you’re considering leveraging contingent labour for your organisation, it’s important to be aware of the advantages and disadvantages this comes with. The world of work is changing. And companies that want to remain competitive need to find new, innovative ways to maximise efficiency, cut costs, and meet their staffing and business needs amid a global talent shortage.
