SUMMARY:The Hidden Workforce: How to Better Engage Contractors and Freelancers with Leanne Faulkner
DESCRIPTION:The Hidden Workforce: How to Better Engage Contractors and Freelancers\nIn a rapidly changing world of work\, organisations are increasingly relying on\nself-employed contractors\, freelancers\, and micro-business owners to deliver\nspecialised skills\, drive innovation\, and support project-based work. Yet\nwhile many leaders understand how to engage and support employees\, far fewer\nunderstand what it takes to build strong\, productive relationships with\nindependent contractors. \nIn this episode\, we sit down with entrepreneur\, researcher\, and former Billie\nGoat Soap founder @Leanne Faulkner to\nexplore the unique realities facing Australia’s growing self-employed\nworkforce. Drawing on more than 20 years of business experience and five years\nof PhD research into the mental health hazards faced by sole traders and\nmicro-business owners\, Leanne shares valuable insights into how organisations\ncan better connect with\, support\, and retain contractor talent. \nTogether\, we discuss the changing nature of work\, the differences between\nemployment and self-employment\, and why understanding these distinctions can\nunlock stronger engagement\, greater innovation\, and better outcomes for\neveryone involved. \nLeanne offers practical strategies for building trust-based relationships with\ncontractors\, creating healthier project environments\, and developing long-term\ntalent networks that benefit both organisations and the people they engage. \nWhether you’re a CEO\, HR leader\, procurement professional\, or business owner\,\nthis conversation will challenge you to rethink traditional approaches to\nworkforce engagement and consider how more human-centred partnerships can\ncreate lasting impact. \nBecause when organisations understand the people behind the contracts\, they\ncreate the conditions for stronger relationships\, better performance\, and more\nmeaningful work for all. \nWant to pick the brain of Leanne Faulkner?
