Companies today are adopting a skill-based approach to hiring but the basic filtering of candidates continues to be a problem especially in organizations that hire at scale. Measuring power skills is crucial to break this bias. We speak with Soumya Gupta, an organizational psychologist about Fundamento's data insight that shows how individuals from tier 2 and 3 cities outperformed those from tier 1 in essential power skills. 

The world of work is changing and organizations are trying to build teams that can sustain this change. Listen to this LinkedIn Live where Mark LaScola speaks with Ankit Durga, and dives deep into what's driving this shift, 21st-century leadership and the need for skill-based business models.

A big thank you for tuning into Skill Flex in 2022. We promise to come back bigger and better in 2023. Here's a fun teardown of everything that we've talked about in the last year and what the key takeaways were. Do spot the bloopers! 

This week we take a look at what organizations need to focus on when it comes to maximizing the performance of sales agents. Fundamento conducted an assessment exercise with 1500+ sales agents working in a fast-growing tech startup. We analyze this data with Kalpana Sachdeva, HR leader with 17+ years of experience, formerly the Head of HR at Lindström. 

There's yet another buzzword in town, quiet constraint. This capsule, we speak with Vibhooti Gupta, currently working as the Learning and Talent Development Manager at Lenovo with around 10 years of work experience. 

On this month's episode with Ankit Durga, we'll be discussing the big dark cloud hovering over companies - attrition. Joining in is Gauri Anand. Gauri is a seasoned HR professional, with a solid background in strategy, consulting, and HR program management with 10+ years experience at Accenture, EY, and most recently Gartner. For the past 5 years, she has been at Gartner in a key specialized HR innovation role with the mandate to improve the HR function’s productivity through innovation, automation and scale of processes.

Every four weeks, we'll showcase some of the work that Fundamento's been doing and we've got an expert to analyze our approach for you. This week we talk about how Fundamento helped a leading health-tech company increase their Show Rate by 4% in just 3 months.

For this week’s episode, we’re going to uncover a topic that’s had quite a lot of discussion around it - Resilience at the workplace. However, we’ve got our own twist to it. Resilience and Change Management are critical power skills for the future of work, however, they play out very differently across roles. Iknoor Kaur dives deeper into this with Natasha D’Souza.
