Many organisations today actually don’t go much further than defining their core values: an exercise that loses all credibility when it stops at this stage.

The relationship starts at the interview process and is the defining moment when you will either cost the company or add value, based on your choice of the “best” person for the job.

Independent contractors have gone from side help for employers to the backbone of many companies. The “gig” economy as it’s now called, includes any of said contractors who work within corporations, providing service that is presumably not available through employees.
