At present, the uncertainty of the external environment has increased, and the development of enterprises has entered a non-linear stage of development, and some enterprises have built an agile and flexible organizational framework last year to adapt to the changes in the external environment. From a macro perspective, nearly 80% of Chinese companies have been exposed to related categories, and 60% of them have purchased manpower outsourcing categories. Last year, Happy Walker served nearly 100 enterprises that purchased manpower outsourcing for the first time, and the market scale was further expanded.
Happy Walker noticed that with the growth of the human resource outsourcing market, flexible employment under its sub-categories has become an important means for many enterprises to optimize human resource allocation, and the proportion and scale of flexible employment have steadily increased when paired with human resource solutions.
On the policy side, the "Opinions on Supporting Multi-channel Flexible Employment" issued by the General Office of the People's Republic of China includes flexible employment in the construction of a fuller and higher-quality employment promotion mechanism. At the same time, specific measures are being promoted in the fields of social security policy and tax policy, such as the pilot release of household registration restrictions for flexible employees to participate in basic pension insurance in some areas, the protection of rental housing for flexible employees, and the development of subsidized vocational skills training.
As a new human resource service organization that has been engaged in human resource outsourcing for 23 years, combined with the subtle changes in the market in the past year, Happy Walker gathers the front-line personnel of the market and makes the following trend judgments in the field of flexible employment in 2024 through research and analysis.
From a macro perspective, with the development of emerging technologies and the gradual maturity of artificial intelligence, SORA and other technologies, there will be more and more new jobs, which will be more suitable for flexible use models, and on the demand side, there will be more and more such new jobs; At the micro level, more and more enterprises have begun to use the form of flexible employment, and in the context of the gradual improvement of supporting management capabilities, the benefits of flexible employment will be gradually amplified, and enterprises will be more and more inclined to choose flexible employment services. In the next few years, flexible employment will continue to expand the market scale, both in terms of job supply and enterprise demand.

The flexible employment service market will also pay more attention to standardized development, establish more perfect industry standards and regulatory systems, and in this process, flexible employment services for different industries, different enterprises and different positions will be more recognized by the market, which will further increase the market share of mature brands.
In the context of the rapid expansion of overseas business of Chinese brands, the supply side of overseas brands, such as warehousing and logistics industry, and the periodic production and manufacturing of factories will provide greater space for flexible employment services, and further promote the sustainable development of the global economy.
