Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alternative work arrangements refers to the use of workers who are not traditional employees. This includes independent contractors, on-call workers, temporary workers, and contract company workers. This is different from outsourcing, which involves contracting work out to another company, and offshoring, which involves moving work to a different country. Consolidation and high performance work systems are not related to the use of alternative work arrangements.
