The many benefits of the multi-professional employees

The new professionals have several specialties and use their time working independently , which optimizes their time and resources companies . The multidisciplinary specialized services to several organizations at the same time in one or more areas of expertise and make labor trend in recent years in the Western world , according to Jorge Cagigas expert resources and humanosestratégicos director Epicteles consultant . " These relationships and services can be made to work part-time basis , or for a certain time, or in a commercial or self- respect ," explains Cagigas , who also holds a degree in Law and president of the foundation Fundipe . According Cagigas , " also called the multiempleados not be confused with traditional moonlighters , combining different non concurrent activities and generally extend their hours beyond their normal working hours or on days of rest." " The multi- skilled worker is an independent , under a contract of non - usual work - serves and participates in various activities for various organizations , individually or collectively. Their occupations also require based on a strict code of ethics and clarity , transparency and commitment between the parties relationship, "he added . According Cagigas generally the "multi" are highly qualified professionals that limit and restrict their collaborations. " It is not intended sobreocuparse with endless days continued in different companies , but finding a balance between highly specialized services they provide and the fees ," says the expert. Win -win " This method is advantageous for organizations that need to be increasingly competitive and productive , which have gone from being places where people offer their services on a contract " quasi permanent " and stable, to be more dynamic , drawing or using these resources and services only when they need them , "said Cagigas . " This is using 100 percent of the qualifications of a professional for a specific period of time , just that the organization needs , rather than 100 percent of the person, useful to work in a short time percentage it was in the previous model was based , "adds Cagigas . But the ' multi ' option not only interested in the company, including professionals " because the concentration of population displacement problems in big cities , they preferred " low investment jobs of use ", projects or services service in which travel times are minimal or nonexistent, as if working online . The idea is to reduce to a minimum dead or unproductive time, " he explains. Those who want to become multidisciplinary , Cagigas indicates that they must ensure that "services and skills that have have positive traits that differ from the usual labor supply, and there is a real demand for such services who offer " . According to Director of Epicteles , an aspiring multi should also invest in the development and training in the areas you want to perform , to achieve a high degree of excellence and experience. "The continued interest and concern for learning new trends , active participation in the knowledge centers , research and development of new experiences and growing specialization, are keys to becoming a multi " according to Cagigas . Another aspect that should not undervalue " is the change in mindset that the professional has to do to be able to adapt to new situations with greater flexibility , as you will need to provide their services to various businesses and companies." AN OPTION FOR EVERYONE To link to this type of work , the first step is to organize an attractive portfolio . "Whoever wants to become multi must have clarity as to - dossier - portfolio of products and services bid for your prospective buyer will turn to it quickly , knowing that the value proposition offered fits the needs client "suggests this expert . According Cagigas , the career portfolio is a set of knowledge areas that a professional possesses and which serve to add value to different organizations in various fields of knowledge and experience. "These areas have why be similar, but may be very different ," he qualifies . "The key is not whether the activities are similar or related to each other. It is most important that have been chosen by the professional interest and commitment to develop attitude , and a great motivation for them , since most transcendental to success is often the enthusiasm , dedication and effort that the person is able to put into play, " he says. " Any professional activity and could be incorporated into multi-tasking , although there are areas where organizations are more familiar with this modality , such as marketing and advertising , finance and audit , quality, distribution and logistics or shopping, while others experience rapid growth as production , human resources and R & D ( Research and Development) , "according Cagigas . For the consultant, moonlighting is growing because of the economic crisis and the loss of job security have caused a change in the culture of organizations and professionals, " although this process also influence the change of way of relating , the rise of the service sector , the new conception of talent and adding value , and advance models based on merit . " "In America , particularly in the United States and Canada , functional mobility is more established , so that professionals can be more affordable multiemplearse possible . The percentage of professionals in this model is much higher than in Europe, but in the near future this gap will narrow significantly , "predicts to finish.
