Future of Work

We announced the appointment of Melissa C. Thompson, Global Head of Talent Acquisition, Ford Motoor Co. as the Talent Acquisition Board Chair for 2022. We very much look forward to Melissa's leadership in the year ahead! 

In thinking ahead to 2022, we invited i4cp senior research analyst, Tom Stone, to join us for an overview of the key findings of i4cp's 2021 research study, Accelerating Workforce Readiness. 

Tom covered our findings in regard to the future of work, the importance of effectively assessing the skills and capabilities of the organization, and sustaining a culture of continuous learning and development.

The study did a deep dive into aspects of workforce readiness such as skills inventories, skills development, talent hoarding vs. talent mobility, internal talent marketplaces, the broader talent ecosystem, and more.

We also discussed timely issues such as:

• The role of Talent Acquisition in workforce readiness
• The specific metrics associated with workforce readiness and development
• How your organization is preparing workers of the future
• Creating skills inventories
• Measuring success
