Talent Management in the Future Business World: How to Build a Skills-Centric Approach?
In today's business world, organizations aim to improve talent continuity by fostering the skills they need for the future and helping employees build fulfilling careers. To achieve this goal, it is critical to understand current and future workforce skills accurately, focus on development planning, and prioritize talent and succession planning. So, how can companies realize this transformation?
Becoming a Skills-Centric Organization
To transform into a skills-driven organization, companies need a central skills model that spans the entire talent lifecycle. This process is enabled by the talent intelligence hub, an AI-driven skills architecture built into the foundation of SAP SuccessFactors HCM.
- This centralized framework helps you gain a holistic view of employee skills.
- According to research, 58% of employees would be more motivated to learn new skills if they knew their companies made employee decisions based only on their skills.
- With this infrastructure, managers can understand existing skills, identify skills gaps, make top-down decisions, and drive a bottom-up culture of dynamic talent development.
Growth Portfolio and Opportunity Marketplace
Employees often do not know how to identify their best workplace opportunities. A "growth portfolio" serves as the starting point for employees' development journeys and allows them to view and manage their skills, competencies, and aspirations.
- The opportunity marketplace offers AI-generated personalized recommendations based on each employee's skills, competencies, interests, and aspirations.
- This marketplace includes formal, informal, and experiential learning, as well as suggestions for potential mentors, temporary assignments, job postings, dynamic teams, and more.
Nurturing Future Leaders: Succession Management
To create a healthy pipeline of future leaders, you need to support internal mobility and employee retention.
- The solution suggests potential successors using an intelligent algorithm that assesses the competencies and expected ratings associated with a specific job.
- The succession organization chart helps leaders quickly gain a holistic view of their team's skills, identify talent gaps, and review key indicators such as risk, impact of loss, and bench strength.
- The talent search feature helps managers quickly find successors based on skills across the organization for all critical roles.
Personalized and AI-Driven Experiences
Employees want a fulfilling career, but sometimes do not realize they can have one where they already work. An intuitive guided experience offers insights into employees' current career status and a road map for their future development.
- Generative AI capabilities let employees quickly create meaningful, ambitious development goals after adding just a few words about how they would like to develop their careers.
- Joule, the AI copilot, provides an intuitive, conversational way to update the status of development goals.
- The solution supports real-time coaching through integration with Microsoft Teams, allowing people to connect quickly as they work without needing to navigate between multiple screens.
