Office Hours #2: Skills-Based Organisations win War for Talent
As companies are moving towards becoming Skills-Based Organisations, skills are high on the agenda of CEOs, CHROs and Talent Leaders alike. In this video series, TechWolf's CEO Andreas De Neve breaks down various skills-related subjects and their impact on business and strategy.
“The biggest struggle we have? More jobs than people!”
That’s what’s coming up in all the discussions I’m having with HR leaders.
In the video, I share a few customer stories on the topic. The stories come from people who are approaching talent shortages from a new, skills-based perspective.
Deloitte and others summarise it well: “The skills-based organisation places skills and human capabilities at the heart of talent strategies, creating a new operating model for work and the workforce.”
The companies in the video have placed skills at the heart of their recruiting strategy:
✓ To attract new talent, they look beyond the CV of job applicants and list people’s skills. If there is no immediate match with a vacancy, a future match with a new job opening is still possible.
✓ To promote internal mobility, they unlock the internal labour market. When opening up a new role, it is analysed in terms of skills, and matched with the skills of current employees. This helps promote and keep high potentials.
