Why talent leaders must look within

Cornerstone Editors

Personalwirtschaft podcast with Mike Bollinger – VP, Strategic Initiatives, Cornerstone

In 2020, Cornerstone launched a robust skills report survey a few weeks after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. It’s no surprise that, in many cases, the pandemic accelerated problems within companies that had difficulty adapting to change. The sudden, rapid pace of digital transformation and long-term talent shortages impeded many organizations’ ability to innovate and grow.

The most compelling finding of the survey was the discovery of a significant skills confidence gap. The report revealed a 30% difference between employee and employer perceptions of their organization’s commitment to skill development.

In 2022, we were curious whether the skills confidence gap narrowed or widened, so we repeated the skills report survey and conducted a talent mobility study with 1,800 employees and 900 employers in North America, Europe and Asia. The study unveiled the striking differences between high-performing organizations and laggards (low-performing organizations) in addressing skills gaps. We found a <strong positive correlation> between organizations with a growth mindset that invest in their people and overall business performance.

Mike Bollinger, VP of Strategic Initiatives at Cornerstone, joined the German HR podcast Personalwirtschaft to discuss the findings in greater detail, how to reduce the employee-employer skills confidence gap and how to address times of uncertainty to forge a path forward. The majority of this discussion is in English.

Ontologia delle competenze: le basi

Se prima ci si limitava a chiedere ai dipendenti di selezionare le proprie capacità da una lista infinita di competenze elencate senza un criterio per creare un database rudimentale, oggi questo approccio non è più percorribile. Grazie all'avanzata dell'intelligenza artificiale (AI), ora possiamo generare ontologie delle competenze sofisticate che aiutano le organizzazioni a scegliere i talenti con maggiore consapevolezza. Operazioni che in passato richiedevano migliaia di ore e, alle volte, milioni di dollari possono ora essere eseguite rapidamente e su larga scala.
