Director, Product Management @ WorkGaps has been created to disrupt the traditional part-time, temporary and contract work industry. It matches workers and hirers in a simple and cost effective way and then provides the ability to find, manage, communicate and monitor a workforce from start to finish. For those organisations employing blue collar, lower wage workers, or businesses with a high staff turnover in particular, managing a flexible or disparate resource pool remains administratively complex and time-consuming. Many are still managing shift planning or timesheets with a piece of paper, or engaging with last minute phone calls. With the majority of the workforce now owning a smartphone, in an era where data connections are ubiquitous, WorkGaps makes use of what is already present to provide a step change improvement. WorkGaps is a facilitating or brokering platform for organisations to reduce cost, communicate with their workers, and improve their working practices.
