As we move into the new year, there’s never been a more important time to embark on the journey to becoming skills-based. Whether it’s beginning with specific teams or looking widely across your organization to support people decisions – the value for talent acquisition, development, allocation, planning, reward, and retention is undeniable.
In Josh Bersin’s review for 2022, there is a clear indicator that the HR tech market is evolving, with the skills intelligence marketplace expected to continue to grow throughout 2023. This is in part to skills intelligence software or skills management software being an addition to your tech stack that works in a symbiotic way with your other systems.
The sooner you can begin understanding your skills and measuring competency, the sooner you will be able to take advantage of these insights.
To make the journey easier, we’ve collected 6 articles from the last year that any leader needs to read.
