    Workforce Transformation: creating a people-first workplace

    There has been a big shift from businesses dictating HR strategies, to HR dictating the business strategy, because ultimately the workforce is the most important asset organisations hold. Pre-pandemic businesses were thinking about the concepts of flexible work, and now, they are actually having to reconfigure what they do, how they do it, and where they do it and find ways to innovate at speed.  In our latest podcast, our workforce transformation experts Maura Jarvis and Pavan Bilkhoo discuss the importance of businesses understanding where they are going from a skills perspective and how the whole strategic workforce planning is key to designing the skills journey. How can organisations position themselves as a real talent magnet in the working environment?
