In an uncertain and rapidly changing world, Steve Forbes sits down with today’s leading business and economic minds to give listeners a better grasp of what’s ahead, and shares his own perspectives on the day’s most pressing issues.
The name of John Chuang’s creative staffing agency may be a made-up Latin term, but what’s not made up about Aquent is its success in an economy that depends more and more on a flexible workforce. Now boasting clients such as Google, Microsoft, and Apple, back in the 90’s Aquent became the first staffing company to offer full benefits to its fleet of independent contractors. In this episode of What’s Ahead, John talks to Steve about the evolution of the gig economy, the importance of worker benefits, and how legislation like California’s Assembly Bill 5 can intervene in the disturbing trend of benefits inequality.
