Will flexible employment become an industry trend?

According to the data of the World Employment Alliance (WEC), flexible employment is the branch with the highest proportion in the global human resources service industry, accounting for nearly 60%, but China's flexible employment market is still in its infancy, accounting for less than 20% in the human resources service industry.

The concept of flexible employment

Flexible employment is a new situation derived from traditional labor dispatch and a growing product in the field of talent dispatch service. It is a flexible form of employment in determining the number of dispatched personnel, dispatching cycle and screening dispatched talents, and it is borne by the dispatching company in all aspects of statutory employer's responsibilities.

Flexible employment and traditional labor dispatch mainly have the following differences:

Current situation of flexible employment market

At present, China's flexible employment is still in the primary stage of development, and there is still much room for improvement in the penetration rate of the domestic flexible employment market. The Blue Book of China's Flexible Employment Development Report released by Ren Rui talents shows that at present, nearly 80% of enterprises in China have a flexible employment penetration rate below 10%, over 40% of enterprises have not recruited employees through flexible employment channels, and only 9% of enterprises have a flexible employment penetration rate of over 30%, which is a huge gap with developed countries.

In terms of industries, the construction industry has the highest proportion of flexible employees, with 44.496 million flexible employees, accounting for 76.6% of the total number of employees. Followed by the manufacturing industry, the number of flexible employees is 6.5438+0.5302 million. Although there are 5.766 million flexible employees in the transportation and warehousing industry, the proportion of flexible employees accounts for 46.39% of the total employment, second only to the construction industry. The proportion of flexible employees in the financial/real estate, Internet /IT, education and training industries is less than 20%.

Development prospect of flexible employment

For enterprises, the value of flexible employment lies in meeting the phased employment demand of enterprises, solving the seasonal employment demand of enterprises, reducing the employment cost of enterprises, reducing the employment risk of enterprises, improving the operational efficiency of enterprises and enhancing the employment flexibility of enterprises. As a low-risk, low-cost and high-efficiency employment form, flexible employment is very suitable for the current global economic recovery from the new epidemic. The employment demand of enterprises increases with the expansion of business volume, but there is still an uncertain employment environment.

According to the talent data of Ren Rui, in 20021year, the main motivation for China enterprises to adopt flexible employment was to reduce the cost of employment (49.66%), followed by reducing the pressure of self-recruitment (30.26%), and 28.75% enterprises adopted flexible employment because of short-term projects or seasonal employment needs. Business changes, staffing, total workload restrictions, risk avoidance of policies and regulations, and the establishment of a talent pool for screening are also motivations for enterprises to apply for flexible employment.

Since 20 15, China has also issued a number of policies to support the development of flexible employment market, and the market prospect is improving:

To sum up, as the largest market segment of the global human resources service industry, flexible employment has a short development time in China, and its penetration rate is still at a low level. However, considering its high compatibility with the current economic environment and the strong support of national policies for the development of flexible employment, China's flexible employment market will usher in a golden period of development during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period.
