49 minutes

We tango with how these elements shape the future of HR and the potential for outsourcing to emerging markets. Bruce Morton, Head of Strategy at Allegis Global Solutions answers the questions that have been burning a hole in our pockets.

Key Takeaways

Skills-based hiring has emerged as a vital response to the changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting organizations to rethink their work processes.

AI plays a critical role in deconstructing work and matching skills to job requirements, helping organizations identify and leverage existing talent within their workforce.

Utilizing assessments and data analysis can significantly improve hiring decisions, providing valuable insights into potential candidates and refining hiring processes.

Internal mobility is crucial for maximizing the potential of existing employees, yet it is often hindered by a lack of trust and the complexity of navigating internal career paths.

Creating a safe environment for employees to express their career aspirations is essential for fostering internal mobility and encouraging growth within the organization.

AI and automation enhance workforce planning and recruitment by focusing on the actual work rather than rigid job descriptions, paving the way for a more dynamic and adaptable workforce.
