Interview with Lorenzo Andolfi, Senior Researcher, SD Worx  

The gig economy is no longer a side story in the world of work. From food delivery drivers to freelance consultants, gig workers are playing an increasingly visible role in how organisations get things done. But what does this mean for HR? And how should businesses respond to a workforce trend that’s growing fast, but still full of complexity?  

In today's rapidly evolving manufacturing landscape, one thing is clear: companies that fail to embrace digital transformation risk being left behind. As factories become smarter and more connected, the question isn't whether to digitalise—it's how quickly you can adapt your workforce strategy to keep pace with technological change. 

When making a significant investment in your HR transformation journey with a new HRIS, you want to make sure your implementation goes smoothly, and you get a quicker return-on-investment (ROI) and time-to-value from your new processes and technology. While there will always be factors outside of your control that can put pressure on your well-planned project, there are certainly activities you can undertake prior to beginning your project that will optimise your preparation and make sure you can hit the ground running. 

Hiring has never been more challenging, SD Worx is changing that with SD Worx Quick Apply.
