New Research Shows that Corporate Talent Management, Pioneered in the 1970s, Is Rapidly Being Replaced by Talent Intelligence Solutions
OAKLAND, Calif., Sept. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Josh Bersin Company, a research and advisory company focused on HR and workforce strategies, has warned that organizations not seeing the true skills picture of tomorrow could "hire themselves into obsolescence" by continuing to recruit and develop skillsets the market no longer needs. Without the right prompts, it's very possible that many organizations will risk hiring themselves into obsolescence The call to action follows deeper analysis of the real-world Global Workforce Intelligence (GWI) Project healthcare industry report, released earlier this month and which covered the healthcare sector. This fresh cut of its findings looks more deeply at how employers are adapting their talent strategies to align with industry reinvention and emerging opportunities in their sector. A recent other study by The Josh Bersin Company found that 70% of all C-level leaders across all sectors believe their skills are falling behind, while more than 80% worry about not being able to hire the right people. The goal of the latest analysis, which has been drawn together in a comprehensive new white paper for Josh Bersin Company corporate members, was to understand how all kinds of employers might rebalance and transform their talent recruitment, retention, reskilling, and redesigning-related activities, to create an adjusted and more sustainable talent pipeline geared to future opportunities. A smarter and more holistic approach to talent intelligence, based on a wealth of internal and external data sources, can play a powerful role in strategies both to plug emerging talent gaps and to reshae the workforce as entire industries experience reinvention, the research suggests. Through smarter and more holistic insights, employers are better prepared for the recruitment challenges of tomorrow while simultaneously reducing their exposure to current trends such as the Great Resignation, employee coasting/Quiet Quitting, and the loss of talent to other industries. Key observations and learnings from the newly-released GWI Project strategy primer include:
Josh Bersin, global HR research analyst and CEO of The Josh Bersin Company, said: "As industries converge and are forced to reinvent themselves, traditional talent management practices are ceasing to be fit for purpose. Instead, employers need to be proactive and strategic; they need access to real-world data on demand, to be able to know whether they are attracting, retaining and developing the right skills for their future needs. Without the right prompts, it's very possible that many organizations will risk hiring themselves into obsolescence by building a team frozen in the past. "But with a smart talent intelligence team, organizations can make deliberate decisions to adapt." Josh Bersin Company has distilled these latest findings and insights into a detailed member-exclusive white paper—Understanding Talent Intelligence: A Primer.
