Talent Value Proposition for the Present and Future

Introduction

Talent value proposition (TVP) personalizes the message of what the firm offers to

employees and ensures it resonates with the targeted population. The human resource

management proposes an overview of the TVP that extends beyond personal and

organizational goals. With information on the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) resources,

gig workers, the "gig economy," employee-based suggestion programs, and remote work, the

TVP showcases expectations in terms of skills, experiences, and capabilities. The proposal is

an overview of original talent and value proposition that focuses on annual budget savings,

creativity, and changes within the workplace regarding current employees. A reliable TVP

attracts and maintains top personnel but also corresponds with company goals like

innovation, cost-effectiveness, and change adaption as the nature of work evolves. The focus

on the US DOL ensures that the TVP prioritizes compliance with employee benefits for both

employees and employers.

Moreover, the proposal describes the steps that can be taken to support the

development of individualized strategies for the creation of an internal "gig economy" and

why and how this can be beneficial inside the organization. The proposal further recommends

a process that optimizes an employee-based suggestion program to continually refresh the

total rewards and contingent worker development within the organization. It also determines

the unique needs of contingent workers as non-employee talent continues to rise and remote

work becomes more prevalent within organizations. Lastly, the proposal discusses the

advantages and disadvantages of providing benefits and rewards for gig workers. Human

resource management is responsible for talent value proposition for the present and future.

Creativity, Annual Budget Savings, and Changes within the Workplace

Creativity, annual budget savings, and changes within the workplace regarding

current employees are core elements to understand when proposing a TVP. Creativity is the

foundation of innovation. Therefore, the TVP recognizes it as a mandatory component where

the company guarantees a diverse workforce, remote work choices, flexible work schedules,

and regular education and training. Promoting diversity and inclusion is a catalyst for

innovation, making sure that different groups offer a wide range of viewpoints and concepts.

Flexible work arrangements let employees work in engaging settings. Moreover, providing

courses in subjects like innovation management and problem-solving techniques contributes

to creativity. According to Monteiro et al. (2020), the ability to compete and attract the best

talents in a firm is dependent on the quality of the value proposition.

Employee morale and business effectiveness can both be increased by a TVP that

prioritizes cost reductions. For instance, making the most use of the staff by accurate staffing

predictions using workforce planning tools to reduce underutilization of talent and

overstaffing is vital. Implementing and revising laws permitting remote work is crucial to

lowering the expenses related to leasing office spaces. Additionally, employee suggestion

programs are a perfect way to save costs while also boosting ownership and soliciting

employee ideas. The workplace is undergoing significant change, and the TVP has to keep up

with developments in digital transformation, well-being programs, and career development.

Making investments in analytics driven by AI, automation, and teamwork establishes well-

defined career trajectories that offer chances for talent growth and new skill acquisition.

Greene (2020) believes that desirable talent is only attracted by an employee-centric value

proposition. Therefore, it is vital to increase the scope of well-being activities to incorporate

assistance for mental health, physical fitness, and financial stability as the workplace evolves.

Employees and Employers Verification of Benefits In Compliance With Federal Laws

Employers must make sure that any perks offered to employees are compliant with

federal laws. The DOL offers a range of tools such as the Employee Benefits Security

Administration (EBSA), Wage and Hour Division (WHD), and compliance services to help

with this strategy. EBSA offers guidance to make sure employee benefit plans comply with

regulations. Employers can make sure their benefit plans satisfy the requirements of the

employee retirement and other pertinent laws via EBSA services. Moreover, WHD tools

allow employers to make sure that wage regulations that control employee benefits such as

minimum wage and overtime pay requirements are followed. Additionally, compliance

services entail employers making sure that their benefit plans comply with federal regulations

by using the DOL's helplines, compliance fact sheets, and interactive web tools.

Employees also have the right to guarantee that federal regulations are followed in

benefits remittance. The DOL provides benefit advisers, complaints, and online resources to

help workers learn about their rights. For instance, if workers have any queries regarding

their benefits or need assistance with compliance-related matters, they may get in touch with

benefit advisers via the DOL. Moreover, the DOL website offers a plethora of information

and guidelines regarding employee rights. If need be, employees can also lodge complaints

with the DOL if they think their benefits are not in line with federal laws.

Steps To Support the Development of Individualized Strategies for the Creation of an

Internal "Gig Economy"

There are critical steps that should be taken to support the development of

individualized strategies for the creation of an internal "gig economy". Priya & Raman (2021)

note that employer branding has a direct influence on talent management. For example, the

organization should choose tasks that fit into a specific gig, create a talent marketplace, adjust

work schedules, and regularly assess performance metrics. The firm can benefit from the

freedom and creativity that come with gig employment while maintaining a stable staff by
 5

utilizing the internal gig economy. First, assessing if internal projects or activities are suitable

for contract workers should entail temporary commitments, creative endeavors, and

specialized jobs requiring certain abilities, Moreover, providing an internal platform where

staff members can accept freelance work and use this marketplace to look through available

jobs, apply based on their qualifications and interests, and efficiently manage their time is a

helpful tactic in gig economy.

Greene (2020) argues that creating the right workforce necessitates having different

value propositions for different types of talent. Therefore, making sure staff members can

choose between freelance assignments and their usual responsibilities requires workload and

timeline modifications. Clearly stating the performance metrics and results for job

assignments can guide employees to know how their gig workers will advance their careers

and organizational performance. Supporting the development of individualized strategies for

the creation of an internal "gig economy is beneficial to both the firm and the workers. For

instance, the support induces greater innovation, better employee engagement, and cost-

effectiveness. Rounak & Misra (2020) note firms are investing a lot in developing talent

management practices. As a result, workers can use their expertise for a range of tasks, which

encourages creativity and cross-functional cooperation. In terms of engagement, gig workers

are happier and more engaged when freed and flexible. Moreover, an internal gig economy

can reduce costs by lowering the requirement for outside consultants or contractors.

Optimization of an Employee-Based Suggestion Program

There is a need for optimization of an employee-based suggestion program to

continually refresh the total rewards and contingent worker development in the firm. Kwon &

Jang (2022) note that developing a competitive talent value proposition promotes employee

skill development strategy and organizational performance. For example, opening multiple

communication channels, promoting participation, consistently evaluating recommendations,

 6

and providing Feedback Loops are reliable approaches to optimizing an employee-based

program. The firm’s benefits package and strategies for the growth of contingent workers can

be enhanced over time by making sure that staff members readily provide feedback via apps,

online portals, and suggestion boxes. The approach should be easily understood by everyone,

including remote and temporary personnel. Moreover, promoting participation by giving out

bonuses and promotion opportunities for meaningful contributions is a perfect strategy.

Consistent evaluation should entail forming a cross-functional committee to regularly assess

recommendations from all angles. Lastly, providing staff members who submit suggestions

with feedback, regardless of their ideas promotes transparency in the decision-making

process, involvement, and confidence in firm business.

Unique Needs of Contingent Workers

There are unique needs for contingent workers as non-employee talent continues to

rise and remote work becomes more prevalent within organizations. Panneerselvam &

Balaraman (2022) assert that knowing what employees expect is key to guiding a firm to

understand skill and talent needs and preferences. Therefore, it is critical to accommodate

these demands of contingent workers as their numbers grow. Resources, assistance,

flexibility, and open communication ensure that temporary workers have access to the same

channels for communication as full-time staff members. This entails participating in team

meetings and decision-making processes, getting updates on corporate policy, and having

access to the resources that are required. On the other hand, contingent workers typically give

flexibility priority when it comes to work schedules and locations. In this market, attracting

and keeping top personnel can be facilitated by providing flexible work schedules and remote

work choices. Moreover, offering contract workers the same resources as full-time staff

members, training and professional development opportunities as well as equipment that

facilitates effective job performance goes a long way to understanding and addressing their
 7

needs. Given the rise in remote work, the organization should leverage technology, virtual

engagement, and performance management to meet the unique demands of their contingent

workers who operate remotely. This entails the provision of computers, software licensing,

and establishing clear goals for performance evaluations and feedback sessions in line with

the firm’s objectives.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Providing Benefits and Rewards for Gig Workers

There are advantages to providing benefits and rewards for gig workers. Attracting

top talent, greater commitment, employee retention, and consistency in work quality are the

most important pros. Rounak & Misra (2020) argue that retention of human talent is dictated

by providing prizes and incentives that can help the firm draw in top personnel. Alternatively,

these individuals could look for employment with other companies that provide better perks.

Encouraging gig workers with incentives may increase their feeling of commitment, leading

to longer engagements and a decrease in turnover. Moreover, gig workers are more likely to

regularly produce high-quality work that advances the business when they feel appreciated

and motivated. Priya & Raman (2021) prove that employer branding aids develop an

effective value proposition that communicates the desired talent pool.

However, there are also disadvantages of providing benefits and rewards for gig

workers. Higher labor costs, administration complexity, and the possibility of

misclassification are the top feasible disadvantages. For instance, paying gig workers with

incentives and rewards can result in higher labor costs overall, which might provide a

challenge for businesses that depend on gig employment as a cost-saving measure. On the

other hand, overseeing benefits for independent contractors may necessitate greater

administrative work, especially in the case of guaranteeing adherence to legal requirements

that may vary from those of full-time employees. Moreover, gig workers may find it more
 8

challenging to distinguish between their employment and contractor positions due to the

perks they get, which might raise legal issues with worker classified.

Conclusion

The human resources management proposes the talent and value proposition as a vital

approach towards gig workers, the "gig economy," employee-based suggestion programs, and

remote work. The proposal provides an overview of an original talent and value proposition

that focuses on creativity, annual budget savings, and changes within the workplace regarding

current employees. Moreover, it explains how employers and employees could verify that

their employee benefits comply with all federal laws by using the US DOL, EBSA, and

WHD. The proposal highlights the steps that can be taken to support the development of

individualized strategies for the creation of an internal "gig economy" and achieve benefits

such as greater innovation, better employee engagement, and cost-effectiveness inside the

firm.

The human resource management recommends an employee-based suggestion

program to continually refresh the total rewards and contingent worker development within

the organization. The proposal outlines resources, assistance, flexibility, and open

communication as the unique needs of contingent workers as non-employee talent continues

to rise and remote work becomes more prevalent within organizations. Lastly, the proposal

discusses the advantages such as top talent, greater commitment, employee retention, and

consistency, and disadvantages such as higher labor costs, administration complexity, and

misclassification in the provision of benefits and rewards for gig workers. The talent value

proposition's bottom line is the introduction of profitable workplace changes, cost reductions,

and innovation to meet the needs of today's workforce.
