Managing an Employee Who Has a Side Hustle | Benjamin Laker
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=104101&nl=daily rise of
the gig economy and remote work has blurred the boundaries between
primary jobs and side hustles. As employees seek to diversify their
incomes or explore passions outside of their 9-to-5 jobs, side hustles
are becoming a standard part of many professionals' lives. While side
hustles can offer creative outlets and a sense of autonomy, they can
also create challenges for managers, including concerns over divided
attention and potential conflicts of interest. However, with the right

can coexist productively. The following suggestions can help.

Managing an employee with a side hustle begins with understanding why
they have taken up an additional role. Side hustles can range from

pursuing a creative endeavor, like writing or photography. Employees
often engage in these activities to improve their financial stability,
explore new interests, or build skills that might not be fully
utilized in their main job.
