Flexibility through freelancing
By Salma Altantawy, Editor at LinkedIn News
Flexible work solutions are increasingly in demand as younger professionals enter the workforce. A report by Michael Page Middle East Recruitment Agency shows that 66% of survey respondents are prioritizing remote options while they look for a job in the UAE. Aiming for more flexibility, some professionals opt for taking on freelance jobs, which separates professionals' identity from an organization, Azeem Zainulbhai, co-founder of a flexible talent consultancy told Arab News. “This has reduced the attractiveness of permanent employment and the lifetime loyalty often given by employees among older generations,” he added.

CNN's Allison covers the remote worker sector. Not all are well suited for it, be it lack of skills, lack of discipline, lack of focus, and and so on.. Sometimes both owner/manager and their staff need to check in that both and all parties are on the same page. I've managed media firms, a restaurant (with a home delivery driver..who I had to fire on the second shift) and a small team of PPV and Ethnic Channel Pay TV guns, who came from door to door to an office based outbound call scenario. All situations have their own unique challenges. Both parties need to want it to work in order for it to, in my experience. These days my main I.T guy is right on the money 90% of the time, and I haven't needed to see him in person in the office for months. He earned my trust and respect over the months which turned into years. Teamwork and the desire to do better and keep focused on the business goals while adapting to the regular changes in the business landscape. Success. #cnn #work #workplace #remotework #remoteworkers #careers #management #workenvironment #training #multiskilled #multiskilling #success #media
Arabian Business on remote working. With some of my own commentary on sports, culture, business, property and the like re the UAE, sometimes it feels like I'm remote working in a remote news media office. I'm not on the payrol of Arabian Business for the record and to be clear, but from my office I get to cover the world's news and affairs, currently based in Australia! The world is your oyster, now on another level with the internet, social media et al. Commentary via our friends via the LinkedIn platform! PS: my post sparked by recent and excellent coverage of the WWE (wrestling promotion) coverage by Arabian Business. #arabianbusiness #ab #uae #uaebusiness #uaebusinesses #remote #remoteworking #work #careers #workspace #employment #trends #culture #balance #flexibleworkspace #respect #performance #marketing #culture #b2b #b2c #social #socialmedia #world #agency #business #media
