Navigating Talent Disruptions: A Three-Pronged Strategy for Success

This company has implemented a three-pronged talent strategy to successfully navigate talent disruptions and associated challenges. The first prong focuses on accessing talent by seeking diverse pools of talent and creating new pathways for talent, such as apprenticeship programs. As an example, 20% of their entry-level hires in the U.S. are apprentices. The second prong involves being a talent creator by reskilling employees as demands change. In the first six months after the pandemic, the company upskilled 100,000 people. The company's reskilling program also attracts people because they know that the company is investing a billion dollars a year in their people's skills. The third prong is unlocking the potential of talent by creating an environment where employees feel they are 'net better off' by being with the company and can succeed both professionally and personally.
