OpenHR: The Human Capital Framework for the Blended Workforce

The workforce is changing fast…

More individuals are choosing to freelance and work flexibly, which means organisational teams are now made of both full-time and independent workers.

No longer can we afford to treat independent workers as merely ‘managed services’; In the war for talent, they are quickly becoming an indispensable part of a more blended workforce.

Traditional structures and ways of managing our human capital, regardless of its make up and designation, need an upgraded framework from which to build, manage and support a multidimensional workforce of the future, now.

In this book, Jeremy Blain and Dr. Rochelle Haynes build the case for OpenHR and the framework to support it. The book is your how-to blueprint to build an OpenHR approach for your organisation, and provides:
