GRENNWOOD VILLAGE, CO / ACCESSWIRE / April 7, 2022 / Millions of women left the workforce in 2020. As a matter of fact, we haven't seen a decline in women in the workforce like this since Many cultural factors went into this mass exodus, but the transition to online schooling was one of the main reasons- someone had to stay home to supervise children during the day, and much of the time, that responsibility fell to women.
The COVID-19 wasn't the only reason behind The Great Resignation. It may have accelerated existing trends within the job market, though. When people's jobs shifted to remote positions, the extra time saved by not commuting may have led people to self-reflection, resulting in widespread career changes.
The theory that The Great Resignation wasn't solely caused by the pandemic is supported by the fact that the job market remains indelibly changed, even while COVID cases continue to decrease. Working moms in particular got the opportunity to experience the flexibility of remote work.
As a result of these changes, more and more companies are now transitioning their business models to accommodate work-from-home positions. Dawn Wellott, founder of premier workforce replacement solution SmartMomGig.com, had that flexibility in mind when crafting SmartMomGig, a service that matches businesses who are looking for workers to complete projects- on a recurring or one-time basis- with women who are looking for flexible, at-home work.
According to Dawn Wellott, "The work-from-home culture is how women need and want to work, and it's here to stay. The question now is how the government, companies, and our social structure can flex from the traditional environment to the new demand. These entities must pivot to value working women, in order to support our local economies. There are numerous fiscal benefits to the companies supporting the work-from-home movement. With insight and knowledge of the movement's benefit for businesses, we can turn this into a win-win for our economy."
The gig economy, which was rapidly expanding even prior to the onset of the pandemic, truly got a chance to shine throughout 2020 and 2021, and it turned out that people really enjoy having the ability to set their own schedules, working when they want to in a way that allows them to spend more time with their families and engaging in other activities that they enjoy.
The gig economy is successful because it benefits business owners and workers alike. Employers are currently faced with high employee turnover rates that end up costing companies dearly; investing in new employees in an economy where workers are in high demand is a risky move- especially when the work is remote, since working at home versus in the office decreases worker "loyalty" to companies due to the lack of an office culture.
In response to the growing trend of gig work, Dawn Wellott of SmartMomGig.com spent two years putting together the fully-automated SmartMomGig platform. Her 20 years of experience in Leadership, Demand Management, and Corporate Training gave her the necessary insight to notice and address workforce issues and economic pitfalls and build something to tackle the problems head-on.

The platform allows clients to hire for specific, niche skills at a great benefit to them, allowing them to save on IT, training, and other expenses that typically come along with onboarding new hires.
