I'm keen to share a recent post from JOYN Co-Founder Sean Walters this week, writing about Uber's foray into the staffing industry with their new app Uber Works.

Last week I went along to Okahu in Orakei, Auckland, to attend a networking evening where they would be announcing the Finalists in this year's Central Auckland Westpac Business Awards.  That's me, above, with my wife Jayne (the original inspiration for what became JOYN back in 2012 when our kids were tiny and she was looking for flexible recruitment work).  That's also the back of Michael Barnett, Chief Executive of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce, and also MC for the night.

Amazon are proving to be an increasingly regular name  cropping up around developments in the future of work.  I recently blogged about the gamification of their warehouse workers' roles, literally turning their work into video games to boost productivity and increase engagement.

Our JOYN COO Sean Walters wrote a post for our sister company Rice Consulting this week and I thought it could be apt to share it here.

Did it escape your attention that last week was Global Sharing Week?  It did mine, I must admit, but after hearing about it from this article I thought I'd take a closer look at how us Kiwis are engaged in the so-called "Sharing Economy".
