Skills based Talent Management

Have you ever stopped to think that today people are hired on the basis of their experience and expertise; but then those same employees are let go because of their lack of skills or even attitudes?

Why not start the other way around?

Why not discover the diamonds in the rough and polish them?

Could we do the Performance Appraisal process by focusing on the person’s strengths to further enhance results?

Would we be able to create jobs that are tailored to the skills we have and not the other way around?

Or, for example, in a Reskilling process, where we have no candidates a priori because the position does not exist, would we be able to fill it based on the skills we have previously mapped?

Many of these developments are integrated within an Internal Talent Marketplace. There, employees can proactively apply for the training they are interested in; aspire to positions based on their skills and not so much on their experience; ask for help from experts anywhere in the world or even be the young people who train people from another generation.

Do you know how to achieve this change?

Talent and training teams must be able to lead Re/Upskilling initiatives to create teams of people capable of leveraging their capabilities and cultivating new skills adapted to the future demands of your organisation.
