Managing and motivating a remote gig workforce is both an art and a science—especially when your team is composed of experienced, independent customer experience professionals from around the globe. Unlike traditional employees, GigCX talent thrives on flexibility, autonomy, and clear goals. Here's how to ensure your team is engaged, motivated, and delivering exceptional results every time.
1. Set Clear Expectations from the Start
GigCX talent values clarity. Before you launch your gig, clearly outline the job description.png?width=400&height=414&name=Frame%2025064%20(2).png)
