Challenges of Blended Workforce
1. Managing Remote Employees: In organizations having a blended workforce environment, it becomes difficult for the manager to manage and keep track of different types of workers who have different work schedules, locations, etc. For managing all, a good strategy of having proper schedules of feedback is needed. Setting different objectives for different employees would be challenging.
2. High Turnover: A blended workforce will lead to a high turnover rate because higher flexibility will reduce the commitment in employees, and they are less likely to work for the same organization for a long time. Part-time or freelancers will try to find better opportunities where their full time is utilised and get higher salaries.
3. Legal Compliance: When you have to deal with different kinds of employees, everyone has different rights and regulations. So, it is important to ensure that everyone is receiving their benefits and compensation. In this case, we cannot classify a freelancer as an employee or vice versa because it may lead to tax, financial and legal implications for the employee.
