Talent shortages, automation, worker expectations, and current economic conditions are forcing the issue. Transitioning to a new hiring model can be a struggle because organizations are blind to what investments they should make in training, reskilling, and hiring to optimize their workforces. Plus, decision-making is difficult with no visibility into workforce skills and emerging talent. For a mountaineering expedition, this would be like putting together a group of climbers with no idea how experienced or skilled they were or if they might need additional training before setting out. Jumping in with incomplete knowledge puts the whole trek at risk. Embracing a skills-based hiring model makes good business sense. With a single system of action combined with intelligent workflows, organizations can: • Use AI-driven skills intelligence to drive better talent strategies • Make smarter talent decisions with better insights into the skills and abilities of the workforce • Capture the evolving nature of modern work with the right tools for better agility and visibility Climb to new heights: How CHROs can lead the journey | 14
