My hot take on Moonlighting

Let me share my hot take on #moonlighting .IBM Chief has criticised it strongly. Would like to ask out of 100000 Employees , how many employees have the necessary Expertise to do Dual Jobs ?And what I do in my free time is none of employer business, if no conflict of interest. My hot take on Moonlighting. What % of population in India is doing moonlighting is the question ? 85% of MBA / Engineers don't have skills to be employed. 80% employees are burned out / overworked / stressed / mental health issues. So that leaves a really miniscule population (2-3% ) whose skillsets may be desirable by multiple employers. Many Companies are washing off their hands from taking ownership of Career Development . What options do extremely Capable and Competent Employees have ? If underutilized by current employer ? But to engage in Marketplace to earn side income. I know at least 10 Gen Z in India / Globally who don't want to work for a typical employer and chose to be part of Creator Economy . I don't have all the answers or solutions . But this #moonlighting is not a problem . We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. It's a new trend to be embraced just like Infosys did. Over a period of time. It may lead to good attrition. Employees leaving one employer out of his own voilition and applying for opportunities where she finds fullfillment, meaning, purpose. Thinking from Employer Perspective - Employers have to protect Client data and Mitigate Risks. Data Security and Privacy is of utmost importance. Employers can't have loopholes or weak links to allow data leakage. Personal Example The more employers try to control , more itch will happen. Flexibility. Let employees declare in what capacity they want to moonlight and share full disclosure . For example . In IBM Leadership role, I informed my boss and VP HR that I love Public Speaking and get invited by Reputed Business Schools to deliver Guest lectures on HR. ( On weekends ) Sat mostly. As I was in Corporate Job , i did not ask for any Speaking fees from Business Schools . They showered momentos and certificates and honor. My employer was cool with it. As I had gained Trust. I signed double Non Disclosure Agreement when I was in Talent Acquisition Role so Data Privacy was of utmost importance to me and my Employer Trusted me to do right thing as i was in a Leadership role. It was a win win as in B Schools i was doing Branding for IBM. By sharing IBM HR examples with students. And i was reminded during discussion in HRGurukul Community that this is not moonlighting as i was not getting paid to do Guest Lectures at B School.
