Creating a Culture of Skills Understanding

Rob dives into the foundational pieces of creating a culture that understands the strategic role of skills and workforce planning.

SWP and Skills Understanding constantly pops up on every HR "top 5" list. Rob shares his personal journey - bumps and bruises along the way - as a People Analytics and Workforce Planning practitioner over the past 12+ years. 

• People Analytics and storytelling with data as your greatest allies
• Building a skills taxonomy that reflects your business and future
• Knowing your different audiences and their needs
• Making friends with HRBPs and other with shared interests in driving this work
• "Making friends with shadows"- those with parallel initiatives in the business that need to be part of a centralised SWP process
• Why creating personal connections and learning platforms to democratize your initiatives is imperative.

• The need to curate a skills taxonomy that fits your organization's needs now and in the future
• How to adapt your messaging to fit your audience's needs
• How to create a platform for ongoing HRBP learning and development.
