My Digital announces People Hub for the new Quantum workforce

Quantum employment design company My Digital (formerly My Digital Accounts) has launched People Hub – a real-time digital accounting cloud service focused solely on the needs of contractors.

People Hub was designed specifically in the Northern Powerhouse for the UK economy’s new workforce, made increasingly of quantum employees working and contracting on a part or flexi-time basis.

“Jobs for life are history,” said My Digital CEO John Whelan. “Permanent employment is on the wane. The move to flexible employment is accelerating fast across diverse roles in construction, IT, healthcare, retail and logistics. This army of ‘nano entrepreneurs’ has to be paid and taxed if it is to function for the benefit of all its stakeholders.”
