Gigs
Gigs matches employees to short-term projects based on skills and availability. Managers post a project, the right people surface, work gets done. No contractors. No req approvals. No three-week sourcing cycle.

Managers need people for project work. Employees want exposure to new challenges. Without a system connecting the two, managers default to contractors and employees don’t know the work exists.
Without Gigs, managers source manually — emailing around, checking with their network, or spinning up a contractor SOW. Gigs routes work to qualified internal people first. Projects start sooner. Costs stay lower.
Most internal project opportunities travel by word of mouth. That’s not equitable and it’s not scalable. Gigs surfaces opportunities based on skills and eligibility, so access doesn’t depend on who you know.
As more teams post gigs, governance matters. Audience targeting ensures only eligible people see relevant projects. Co-ownership prevents bottlenecks. HR gets oversight without becoming the traffic cop.
Gigs gives managers a fast, governed way to staff short-term work with internal talent — and gives employees a fair way to find it.

On average, at Lennox, each internal move added five months of tenure. Multiply that across Lennox’s 4,800 tracked internal moves, and the company effectively retained more than 2,000 years’ worth of institutional knowledge. Each goal added to an IDP was linked to 25 extra days of tenure, and each developmental action to another 17 days. Even a modest level of engagement—just a few goals and actions—could easily translate into an additional year of tenure for an individual.
