At WNS, creating a talent framework that continuously assesses an organization’s skill readiness and corrects any misalignment with new talent acquisition is crucial
What got you here won’t get you there.” When management thinker and writer Marshall Goldsmith wrote a book by this title, he put succinctly one of the biggest business challenges the world faces today.
Underscoring the importance of re-tooling, he said that the capabilities that got a professional so far will not be good enough for success in the future. Today, this is a maxim that holds good for every professional as new technologies disrupt the way we work, rendering many skills redundant and making new skills critical for success. Look around and I am sure you have heard/read about robotics, automation, artificial intelligence, digital and other trends changing jobs forever.
Therefore, up-skilling or re-skilling talent to align organizational capabilities to business requirements has become a top priority for people managers across industries. They need to identify the skills that employees currently possess, map those to the company’s business requirements and design programs to bridge any existing skill gaps. It means creating a talent framework that continuously assesses an organization’s skill readiness and corrects any misalignment with new talent acquisition or by providing the required training to internal resources.
