Identifying talent by reskilling for resilience: Learning how to identify talent from within your business to reskill and adapt in challenging times
As we all start to dust ourselves off and get ready to move forward following recent events, are you now taking stock of the incumbent skills in your organisation? Are you focused on readying your workforce to meet the demands in the post-pandemic era and ensuring you retain the brightest talent? Maybe you’re looking to implement a development plan for your team but need help to get started? If you are, this in-depth workshop is for you.
The ‘Global Capital Human Trends Survey’ (Deloitte, 2020) recently identified ‘The Readiness Gap’. It states that 74% of organisations consider reskilling the workforce to be ‘important’ or ‘very important’ to their success over the next 12–18 months, but only 10% feel ready to address this.
It clearly signposts that for many organisations, improved digital skills, social and emotional adaptability and resilience should be key priorities as we move forward. Businesses also need to identify, develop, and retain their key talent to enable capability, capacity, and agility, according to ‘Why HR chiefs must rethink talent management after Covid-19’ (FT, 2020).
It’s evident that it's more important than ever for all businesses to identify, develop and retain their key talent. Now is the time for companies like yours to commit to learning budgets and re-skilling. This workshop sets out to help you pin-point what skills and traits are critical to support your organisation’s recovery and mobilise a plan of action to get you there.
