Skills have taken center stage in talent management discussions \u2014 and with good reason. With organizations facing new and evolving demands almost daily, there\u2019s no way you can hire fast enough for new skills. Instead, you need to define and develop more of those skills internally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt’s important for individuals, like employees and managers, but also for organizations, to be able to speak that language of skills,\u201d said Arnaud Grunwald<\/a>, chief product officer at Betterworks, during his talk at EmpowerHR Americas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The challenge for many organizations, however, has been designing and implementing actionable skills development programs. Performance data could be the key to solving this puzzle and creating a practical approach to skills management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At EmpowerHR, Arnaud joined RedThread Research<\/a> co-founder and principal analyst Stacia Garr<\/a> to share how to leverage skills data to transform how organizations develop, assess, and mobilize the workforce.
In this excerpt from the session, Arnaud explains how to drive skills-based performance by helping employees understand what they get out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
