Michael Carus, president and chief operating officer of RedVision, instituted the Flexpert program in 2010 in response to a fluctuation in the market. The company wanted to create a flexible workforce where not everyone is a full-time employee. RedVision wanted to know if there was a demand from employees for part-time opportunities.
“The marketplace is extremely dynamic in terms of ups and downs and transaction swings,” Carus said. “If you staff to the peak and the peak is gone, you’re in trouble. If you staff to the trough, you’ll never get to a peak. That’s the dilemma of the world we live in. At RedVision, we try to create flexibility in our work environment.”
