Show Notes

In today’s episode I am delighted to chat with Lorna Davidson, CEO at Red WigWam which in her words is the tinder of recruitment – using algorithms to connect and match workers and clients.  Join us for a discussion on finding new ways of working, in particular in relation to online platforms and the gig economy. Hear about how people are using such platforms to try out new things, take control of how, where and when they work and ensure they have an ongoing stable income.  With lots of platforms to choose from, hear how you can ensure that yours is going to treat you properly and is compliant with legal requirements.  We also discuss media perceptions regarding the gig economy, whether it really is precarious and a means of exploitation, and importantly how you can make platform gigs work for you.
