​Talent Sustainability

An entry point to Strategic Workforce Planning

To create an understanding for how effectively organizations are implementing talent sustainability processes, they have to go beyond talent inventory and supply chain and take a holistic approach that combines the employees' perceptions with three core sustainability practices. The first sustainability practice is acquiring and hiring talent to accelerate time to productivity. The second is engaging and evolving talent to create skilled talent at an optimum cost, and the third is improved culture and belonging by transforming leaders. We’ll go deeper on those three topics as well as the importance of balance and measurement to talent sustainability. It's very easy and common for organizations to go all-in on a few talent priorities that they feel are critical to their organization without taking a broader view of the interdependencies.
