How SimplrFlex Provides Equal Opportunity
SimplrFlex was founded to do things differently. We wanted to provide a radically new alternative to the traditional customer service organization. In the midst of a society that’s still struggling with inequality, I wanted to take a moment to discuss how SimplrFlex works to provide equal opportunity to all of our applicants/Experts and reaffirm our commitment to continuing these practices. For our applicants: We offer access to the platform based on skill (the ability to connect with and help a customer)
Working from Home with a Full House
The work from home routine is not a foreign concept to our SimplrFlex Experts; however, to millions of Americans, this is a new reality that requires some major acclimation. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic currently sweeping across the nation, the confines of our homes are the new offices, schools, and just about everything else for the foreseeable future. Families across the country are now adjusting to the new normal: sharing workspaces with their spouses and children all day, every day. While these unusual circumstances can create some cute moments, being stuck at home with the whole family during an anything-but-normal workweek can deal a severe blow to your efficiency and focus when working from home. In this post, we will share some advice on how to handle the new dynamics at home. Topics covered include staying focused, creating a plan, staying sane, and controlling your spending. Create a schedule for everyone and stick to it Our routines ruled our daily lives before COVID-19, and they are a necessity for productivity, especially when working around spouses or children that aren't usually there and have daily routines entirely different from your own. Make a plan for your workweek that is flexible, but intentional. Just like working from home in a pandemic-free reality, it's smart to schedule specific work and break periods. Schedules don't need to be tedious or complicated; simply designating time for work and breaks will allow you to focus when needed. Spending your break-time on an activity or chore you enjoy will allow you to maximize your time and encourage productivity once you return to work. Mimicking your pre-quarantine habits will bring you closer to your average level of focus and efficiency. Routines also bring a sense of security to our children's lives, and a personalized daily checklist can make this transition period more natural and structured
Gig Economy Making Strides for Women
Women are increasingly turning to the gig economy to make a living Women have historically faced career-altering events that often do not impact men equally. Having a baby in a “traditional” job can have a significant impact on career trajectories, morale and ability to find a sustainable work/life balance. Prenatal appointments, maternity leave, nursing, and finding childcare can further complicate employment in a full-time position. Other more glaring issues such as the gender pay gap have also affected women unequally. However, with the recent rise of the gig economy, there are now countless opportunities for women to earn income and not have to sacrifice the time and flexibility that a traditional full-time role might require them to give up. Why the rise of the gig economy is good for women In a recent survey of 2,000 women working in the gig economy, the three most popular benefits of these roles included flexible hours, control over earning potential, and more personal time. These results ring true here at SimplrFlex, according to two of our Experts: As a mother of 3, SimplrFlex has provided so many benefits for my family and me. The biggest benefit is that I'm able to still put my family first while also helping to provide for them. Being able to always be here for my children and not have to worry about being fired if I miss work due to a sick child or doctor's appointment is huge! I'm able to work as much or as little as I choose, but with this, I'm also not leaving all of the financial weight on my husband. We are able to work together as a team to provide for our children. With SimplrFlex, I've been able to gain back my financial independence. I'm a work-from-home mom, and there's no other company I'd rather be a

7 Tips for Avoiding Work from Home Scams
Let’s face it; the market is flooded with work from home scams. Whether they’re trying to steal your identity, take your hard-earned money, or just get you to do a few hours of work for free, it’s easy to get caught up in a bad situation. Luckily enough, though, it’s just as easy avoiding work from home scams and finding legitimate opportunities. Follow these quick tips to help ensure you’re earning money… not losing it. Too Good to Be True If an opportunity sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Trust me… if it was possible to make thousands of dollars per week doing practically no work, everyone would sign up. You may think you found an opportunity early, but that’s highly unlikely in today’s age where information travels at the speed of light. Look for opportunities that make logical sense and where the compensation is reasonable and fair. Background Check Not Required All legitimate companies will take reasonable steps to protect themselves and ensure applicants are legitimate and trustworthy. If there's no background check or other requirements for validating your identity, then the opportunity really has no idea who you are. Look for opportunities where a background check is required (on their dime; you shouldn’t be paying for this!) Plus, most reputable background checking companies/agencies will do their own validation to ensure the company they're working for is legitimate which keeps you even safer. Requires Investment If they’re asking you for money, then that’s how they make money… by selling you their product, service, information, etc. Any legitimate online company will never ask you for application fees or other funds to get started. Look for opportunities where you’re not required to send funds. After all, you’re in this to receive money, right? Everyone Can Do It If it’s a job that everyone can do, and everyone gets accepted, red
