Blended Workforce

A Blended Workforce model means that an organisation employs multiple types of workers. These can include full-time, part-time, temporary, casual, contract, freelance, and remote workers. The purpose of using a Blended Workforce is to achieve flexibility in the management of human resources and to maximise the efficiency of human resource expenditure through improved productivity.

Key Highlights of Workforce Strategy

• Provides a means to efficiently plan & scale the workforce to suit changing needs.
• Reduces fixed payroll & other costs associated with employee and operational overhead.
• Provides a framework for managing remote and gig employees.
• Strongly emphasises HRMS & compliance tracking.
• Adds access to a variety of skill sets and demonstrates the ability to find qualified talent.

Legal and Compliance Considerations

Regulatory compliance and legal compliance in India will include a variety of items to manage your blended workforce. These include:

• The Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act, 1970.
• The Shops and Establishments Act.
• The Code on Social Security, including new provisions introduced via the Code on Social Security, 2020, for gig and platform workers.
• As such, the Company Contractor & Workforce Policies will need to be clearly articulated.

Classification of Roles is necessary for compliance.
