After working for more than 20 years, as the director, she resolutely chose to resign...

With the development of the times, more and more people are no longer worried about balancing work and family. The emergence of flexible employment mode has changed the way of work for a large group of people. They can get out of full-time work, and they will also have More time to take care of your family.

Cindy is a senior HR director who has worked in many foreign companies and has more than 20 years of human resources work experience. But in her own words, as a married woman, there are seniors and juniors. As the position gets higher and higher, there are more and more things that need to be busy at work. Working full-time with her husband is no longer possible. family. But on the other hand, Cindy didn't want to completely abandon her job and return to her family to become a housewife. The flexible employment method just met her demands. "I can use my 20+ years of human resources

Relevant experience, and can control the time independently, killing two birds with one stone. "

Cindy said that there are three types of flexible employment projects he has worked on. One is to directly sign with an HR consulting company, but you don’t need to work. Similar to a freelancer, you will take two or three projects at the same time; the second is to sign a short-term contract with a company. The contract can be as short as a few months, or as long as half a year to a year. Enter the company in the form of a consultant to complete phased tasks, and then leave when the work is over; there is also a special case, some small companies do not have the budget to hire senior HR, or The internal HR experience is not rich enough, but it does encounter difficult problems. Senior talents or professional consultants with HR related experience are needed to solve the urgent needs and provide resources. At this time, the company will require her to go to the company one day a week to complete internal training. Or solve internal problems.

In one job, she participated in the merger and acquisition of a company, helping the company integrate the company's compensation and welfare system and human resources structure. Cindy said the experience underscores the benefits of hiring flexible workers for businesses. As an outsider of the company, Cindy can put forward his pertinent opinions neutrally and objectively from the perspective of a third party, so that both companies A and B in the merger and acquisition are satisfied and accept their opinions at the same time.

"Unlike internal employees who dare not tell the truth for fear of offending business leaders, I will directly raise business management issues and suggestions for improvement. You don't need to be a good person, the company will think that you have professional experience and will not think that you are deliberately targeting people. , because your work is completely right and wrong."

Skills and personal branding matter most.

Cindy said, "There is no probation period for being a contractor (flexible employment practitioner), unlike working full-time in a company where you can have a 3-6 month trial period. The company will want you to solve existing problems quickly and expect immediate results. If you don’t have relevant experience, companies will question you.”

While there is a lot of demand for flexible working in the market, not everyone can do it well. In Cindy's view, a very important skill is communication skills. Secondly, practitioners need to like change and adapt to changes at any time. If the personality likes to be immutable, it may be more suitable for a stable full-time job. "Customers' needs may change constantly. You need to mobilize your experience to adapt to these changes, understand the logic behind the changes, and help solve problems. You can't be resistant or complaining, but you must embrace the changes from your personality, and fight against them."

Of course, for Cindy, the most important benefit of working in flexible employment is, of course, work-life balance. "I can take a break between projects every time, and plan how to use this time. For example, I can take my daughters abroad for vacation during the summer vacation, and then come back when they start school, which is something that many stay-at-home mothers can't do. ."

In addition to senior HR directors like Cindy who can engage in flexible employment, what other types of people can try? In fact, in addition to HR, lawyers, financial and even administrative staff, there are also professionals who have 30 or 40 years of work experience and retired at home. They are all active tryers of flexible employment. They have accumulated rich work experience and do not want to Doing hard work as full-time, then doing flexible employment projects can contribute to their strengths, let them realize their self-worth, and not be out of touch with the society.
