The four forces shaping your Workforce Strategy
In today’s volatile job market, having a comprehensive strategy that gives employees a reason to join and stay with your organisation is critical. The framework presented outlines the underlying forces which influence an organisation’s workforce strategy.
Organisations who understand these forces and how they apply to their workforce would be optimally placed to develop an edge in creating vibrant workforces capable of achieving sustained, positive outcomes.
The importance of leading oneself for effective leadership development
The expectations placed upon leaders during these challenging times are by no means simple.
Rapid advancements in technology, changing workforce practices, increased customer demands and a shortage of talent are just to name a few. Leaders are expected to navigate newfound territory and manage change at an unprecedented pace which means that the need for a new form of leadership is now critical.
Transforming and digitising your L&D function
Whenever we think about change, we always think about 3 main things: People, Processes and Technology. Transforming your L&D function should be no exception. Nonetheless the change process we are dealing with is complex and varied, and, in reality, ‘the sky's the limit’ when it comes to digitising your L&D function. You should never be disheartened by its complexity, though. You should start by using an iterative approach and build on it with small ‘baby’ steps. Here are a few considerations around People, Processes and Technology that you may wish to consider when drafting your transformation plan.
Upskilling for a Green Economy
The shift to a green economy is being driven by government policy, climate change, and technologies which, when combined, fuel the consumer market for green products and services. Inevitably, this shift increases the demand for employees to be reskilled or upskilled to meet the needs of the future. According to the UN Environment Programme’s Global Guidance for Education on Green Jobs Report (2021) the transition to a green economy will add an estimated 60 million new jobs to the market by 2030.

HR Analytics - Unlock the power of your workforce through data
Today’s HR function has made great strides in shifting from purely administrative in nature, to a strategic business partner which is critical to the running of the organisation. Though one key component which is lagging behind, and which makes all the difference between being a reactive HR function or a proactive one, is the area of HR Analytics.
Why is upskilling and reskilling crucial for talent management?
Upskilling and reskilling need to be managed well and, in general, the talent management framework is a good place where such initiatives should land. COVID-19 has catapulted the role of technology in the field of talent management a decade sooner than we expected. In fact, one of the primary reasons why companies are failing at reskilling is due to the fact that they lack a sound strategy and training technologies to assist them with this. A talent management platform or learning management platform is vital to ensure that the skills in your company’s competency framework are in check. On the other hand, your platform is pivotal to ensuring that you are providing the right mix of learning resources (synchronous and asynchronous) to achieve knowledge and competency in those skills.

Preparing for tomorrow, today
While the majority of businesses recognise which capabilities are important for their future success, many are failing to take the actions needed today to build or even introduce them into their organisations. These actions include using data analytics to make workforce decisions and creating a compelling work experience for employees.
The need for a cultural shift in organisations
Organisational culture plays an optimal role in creating the right people experience and maximising organisational performance. 72% of C-suite and board members agree that organisational culture significantly influences a prospective employee when choosing an organisation to work for. However, despite the recognised importance of culture, PWC’s Katzenbach Center Global Culture Survey 2018 finds that 80% of respondents believe their organisation’s culture needs to evolve in the next five years if the organisation plans to grow and retain talent.
