Make Employee Skills the Currency Within Your Organization

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, organizations are recognizing the critical importance of employees’ skills as a catalyst for organizational success. This is a fundamental change from focusing on job titles, position credentials, org charts, and reporting hierarchies when considering organizational talent. Meanwhile, workers and job seekers desire better opportunities to showcase their unique abilities and greater career mobility. Now, organizations have the opportunity to meet their business and employee needs by tapping into the existing skills of their workforce and developing the skills their employees need to remain agile and competitive.

While the transformation process to a skills-based organization is complex and may seem overwhelming, skills expert and visionary Koreen Pagano offers a blueprint for making the shift and achieving success. She shows how to build over time, emphasizing that you do not have to overhaul every HR, learning and development, and management process and program to see the benefits of skills. Start small and wherever it makes the most sense for your organization to begin the skills journey.

In this book, explore the different components of a skills-based organization―hiring and recruitment, organizational culture, performance management, and career development―as well as strategies for continuous improvement at the people, process, and system levels. Learn to understand the current potential for skills, what is needed to overcome resistance to change, and how to secure buy-in from your organization’s decision makers. Examine how to plan for the collection, analysis, and governance of your skills data.

This book is perfect for HR and talent strategists who want to go beyond the theoretical and see real results, regardless of where they may be on their path to building a skills-based organization. Case studies of companies at different stages in the journey prove this isn’t just an aspirational goal―it’s one that actual companies are achieving.
