Summary

Scott Absher, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of ShiftPixy, talks about how the movement towards part-time labor and the growth of the gig economy are providing solutions for employers across all industries, as well as some of the unique benefits that the ShiftPixy platform offers its users. Absher and host of #ThePlaybook, David Meltzer, chat about topics such as how ShiftPixy’s technology promotes elevated engagement with employees, why the old rule of thumb about staying away from part-time labor no longer applies, and why business operators should look at their human capital in terms of what they have access to instead of what they “own”.
