    SPOTLIGHT: Ushering in a Postgenerational Workplace With Mauro Guillen

    Author and professor Mauro Guillén joins the Talent Angle to explain how generational labels, such as "baby boomers" or "millennials," can be counterproductive in the workplace.

He urges HR leaders to instill a "perennial" mindset in their organizations to foster intergenerational collaboration and engage diverse talent pools. Mauro F. Guillén is one of the most original thinkers at the Wharton School, where he is a professor of management and vice dean for the MBA for Executives Program. He combines his training as a sociologist at Yale and as a business economist in his native Spain to methodically identify and quantify the most promising opportunities at the intersection of demographic, economic and technological developments.

    SPOTLIGHT: Addressing the Burnout Epidemic With Jennifer Moss

    In her book "The Burnout Epidemic: The Rise of Chronic Stress and How We Can Fix It," Jennifer Moss implores organizations to design burnout strategies that move beyond apps, wellness programs and perks. Instead, she makes the case for a systematic and preventative approach to building an anti-burnout strategy. To do so, organizations must first understand the key drivers of burnout, why conventional approaches fall short and how leaders can build cultures that prioritize workforce resilience and health. Jennifer Moss is an award-winning journalist, author and international public speaker. She is a nationally syndicated radio columnist and writes for Harvard Business Review. Her first book, "Unlocking Happiness at Work," received the distinguished UK Business Book of the Year Award.

    SPOTLIGHT: Designing Work Without Jobs With Ravin Jesuthasan and John Boudreau

    SPOTLIGHT: Sizing the Impact of Skills-Based Hiring, With HBS' Joseph Fuller

    In recent years, organizations have started to experiment with skills-based hiring by dropping degree requirements and other credentials in job postings to unlock new talent populations. However, a fully-realized skills-based hiring approach demands deep change in talent processes and hiring manager practices. To this point, most organizations have been unable to weave this method into the fabric of their talent strategy. Joseph Fuller, professor at Harvard Business School, rejoins the Talent Angle to discuss his latest research: "Skills-Based Hiring: The Long Road from Pronouncements to Practice." Joseph shares data to show the extent to which skills-based hiring commitments have translated to meaningful action, and offers practical guidance to help organizations broaden the aperture of their talent pools. Joseph Fuller is a professor of management practice in general management at Harvard Business School and co-leads the school's initiative, Managing the Future of Work.
