WORKFORCE FLEXIBILITY   ADECCO   HRTV

Companies often adopt flexible workforce practices in order to better manage their people and teams more effectively, says Lynne Ng, regional director for Adecco South East Asia.

For companies with cyclical needs (such as warehousing, sales and promotions), having a complementary workforce helps manage work more effectively without being saddled with headcount costs.

Implementing such practices also allows for companies to retain talent (such as young mothers) who might otherwise quit working altogether.
