SUMMARY:HR Leaders\, Improve Talent Management With a Skills-Based Approach
DESCRIPTION:Nearly 83% of human resources leaders say they struggle to find enough talent with the necessary skills\, and only 44% of employees report that career development at their organization is effective at facilitating employee growth. In this context\, over 90% of organizations are considering or implementing shifts to skill-based talent management. Technology vendors and consultancies have taken notice\, packaging their solutions and services around skills. This buzz is creating confusion about what exactly a skills-first approach entails\, whether it is a good thing\, and\, if so\, how and where to get started on making the change. Join this complimentary Gartner HR webinar as Gartner talent management experts explore how you can separate reality from the noise and refine your understanding of how a skills-first approach can better enable talent management.

SUMMARY:How GenAI Will Impact the Future of Work
DESCRIPTION:Employees who believe that their jobs can be replaced by AI have a 27% lower intent to stay in their organization. At an average organization of 10\,000 employees\, this decrease in intent to stay costs 53 million USD per year in total costs and lost productivity. The impact of generative AI (GenAI) on jobs and workers will vary greatly depending on labor market dynamics and other demand drivers. This blend of certainty and uncertainty makes it difficult for executive leaders to create solid workforce plans that align with their technology and business investments. Join this complimentary Gartner IT webinar to explore how to future-proof your workforce by structuring and adapting AI strategies. You will walk away from this session with answers to your vital questions\, a copy of the research slides\, and a defined plan of action for your strategic goals. \n  \nDefine your AI ambition along with key AI and GenAI investments \nAssess the talent implications of AI investments within your business context \nPlan for investments per talent segment to prepare your workforce for the years ahead
