Juliet is the owner of a design firm that survived the recession, but just barely. Her firm has grown 25% each of the last 2 years, but she is wary of hiring any ful time employees. "Firing half of my staff was the most stressful thing I've ever done" she explained. "I'Il just keep hiring contract designers. There's a lot of good talent out there with fresh ideas and they don't have any expectation of a permanent job." Evaluate Juliet's point of view and explain the advantages and disadvantages of using contingent workers instead of full-time core employees. Explain what you think she should do. (LO 6)

Explanation / Answer

Answer:- Although workers welcome fair wages and equal treatment, much has changed in the last 100 years. Workers have more rights. Employers need workers with skills that didn't exist 100 years ago. Organizations are global in reach. Expanded views of diversity require employers to consider employee expectations of quality of life, requiring HRM to adapt workplaces in order to recruit and maintain the best talent. Economic fluctuations, labor unions, ethical issues and sustainable work practices all complicate the employer - employee relationship.
