Skills are the new currency of work. In the current climate of talent scarcity, technological disruption and shifting workforce expectations, HR teams are finding that traditional, credential-based approaches are not enough.  

Our latest research paper, Building a skills-first workforce, reveals how a growing number of forward-thinking companies are adopting a skills-first mindset, recognising that competencies, not degrees or job titles, drive agility, innovation and business growth. 

The report offers you:

Our research shows that organisations embracing skills-first practices are already seeing tangible results: improved internal mobility, reduced turnover, and stronger diversity outcomes.

Why it matters 

The next wave of workforce performance will be defined by how organisations embed skills-first practices into strategy and culture. Leaders who invest now in skills transparency, career mobility and integrated workforce planning will be better able to meet the needs of their business while planning for the future of talent management.
