If you’re a savvy leader you will have noticed that some of your most talented employees have entered the ‘moonlight market’ by taking on side gigs. It’s a trend that’s becoming increasingly popular, especially among technology and marketing professionals who are attracted by the opportunity to earn extra income, develop new skills, and broaden their experience.

It’s so popular that you’re probably sitting on a gold mine of hidden talent without even knowing it.

The good news is that you can create your own version of popular gig platforms like Fiverr and Upwork.

Creating an internal gig economy is a great way to foster intrapreneurship and retain top performers by allowing them to take on stimulating work gigs in other departments and teams. It’ll help your people grow and make your organization nimbler and more productive.
