Mike Andes tells managers how to make W2 jobs feel like self-employment: let people take company vehicles home, tie bonuses to lead generation, offer flexible schedules and remote work. One in seven jobs have remote-work capability, but most don't use it.
So what can you do in your business to allow employees to actually feel the benefits of being self employed? If you have company trucks and vehicles you allow them to take the trucks home. Why not set up a bonus structure inside of your business to incentivize employees getting new leads and customers for you? You could potentially also set up a P4P system or paid for performance. People want flexible schedules. In 2022 one out of seven jobs now have some ability to work least part time from home or remotely outside of the office. People are looking for meaning in their job. Is it going to actually make a meaningful impact on the lives of others? If your business is not doing that you need to focus on what your goal, your mission, why is this business existing and then rally the troops around that idea to prevent them from having to go and become self employed but yet have the protection of a W2 position that is actually economically going to be in their best interest.
