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.
