保障新就业形态劳动者权益，还有一个重要的环节就是企业。目前来看，已经有部分平台企业主动 担负起相应的社会责任，或主动全量足额为骑手缴纳保费，或推动规则公开透明等，这是一个好的开 始。对于积极落实社会责任的企业，有关部门应该予以肯定和鼓励。同时，监管部门也可以有针对性地 推出相应举措和服务，推动更多企业积极履行社会责任，切实保护好新就业形态劳动者的就业权益。 此外，还可以充分发挥社区功能，对新就业群体做好精准服务。由于很多新就业形态劳动者经常穿 梭于城市社区，社区服务就显得尤为重要。比如，浙江绍兴柯岩街道专门绘制了"新就业群体全域服务 手绘地图"，为快递小哥、外卖小哥、网约车司机等人员解决了吃饭、充电、进小区等不少难题。 其实，无论是着力解决新就业群体眼前的"小麻烦"，还是直面劳动权益保障等"大问题"，关键是让 每一分服务都落到他们的心坎上。有了保障和托底，才能有效缓解"零工焦虑"，进一步激发这一群体的 潜力和热情，让他们能安心投入到工作中。 【责任编辑：杨鑫宇 编辑：杨鑫宇】 近年来，以平台经济为代表的新业态蓬勃发展，新就业形态劳动者群体随之快速壮大。数据显示， 目前全国职工总数为4.02亿人左右，其中新就业 ...
