The 2024 Skills Impact Report

Fuel skills-based organizations with Design Thinking for HR

Traditionally, the role of HR has focused on administrative tasks and policy enforcement — all of it essential, but none of it transformative. But today, that's no longer the case.

HR has evolved into the more strategic arm of People Operations, designed to oversee the entire talent experience from start to finish and everything in between. This transformation has reshaped HR's strategy around skills, uncovering hidden talents and enriching their individual careers with exciting growth opportunities while allowing companies to identify the right people to drive their organization forward, and adapt quickly to changing market conditions.

In today’s fast-paced and increasingly disruptive environment, companies need to adopt a more flexible approach that puts its people and their skills at the center of its talent management strategies. This has become more and more imperative as:

• 59% of the global workforce are disengaged.
• 69% of job candidates say they would reject a job offer from an employer with a negative reputation, even if they were unemployed.
• 87% of organizations currently have an existing skills gap or expect to within the next two to ten years.

That’s why we created the 2024 Skills Impact Report.

It explores the business imperative of talent experience for skills-based organizations, its impact on your talent, the pillars of design thinking for HR and how to start applying it to your strategy with 5 intuitive roadmap worksheets.
