Navigating moonlighting challenges in the modern workplace

Moonlighting, also known as dual employment, refers to when a professional takes on additional income sources outside their primary job. This can be through one-time projects or ongoing freelance, contractual, or permanent work. With hybrid work models becoming the norm, instances of moonlighting have surged. This trend presents new challenges for companies globally.

To address this issue, organisations need to invest time to identify behaviours indicative of moonlighting, assess their current policies, and implement a strong monitoring system to ensure employees adhere to company guidelines.
