Two current trends are likely impacting your company’s ability to find employees with the skills and capabilities you need. The Great Resignation, triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, has left some essential functions thinly staffed. Digital transformation and virtualization of operations – top priorities among business leaders – change the kinds of work employees do and the skills they need.
HR teams will need to conduct extensive service delivery redesign and skills development to meet enterprise needs amid these and other conditions. Collaboration with other functional areas will be essential in achieving this. With help from The Hackett Group, you can do this, managing talent in ways that add value to the enterprise.
Fully one-half of GBS organizations will start planning for upgrading their talent pool in 2022.
