Track Session: Developing an Upskilling and Reskilling Strategy Aligned To Organizational Goals

As organizations shift to being increasingly agile, data-driven and digitally dexterous, a renewed focus on skills and capabilities has taken root in talent management. Taking a skills-based approach to people strategy is critical - not only to developing employees but also to talent acquisition and retention. Retaining employees means succeeding at internal mobility.

Companies that want to retain institutional knowledge will dismantle antiquated career progression schemas that only focus on promotions and upward mobility and, instead, embrace what people actually want – to grow, try new things, find meaning and purpose, work flexibly and have great relationships at work.

This session will discuss:

• Mapping existing and needed skills and competencies across the organization

• Developing a skills based talent management strategy

• Aligning employee ambitions with business objectives

• Partnering with L&D to build a skills based organization

• Retaining talent by enabling mobility across the enterprise
