The pandemic has transformed the way we work. It has also challenged many companies when it comes to retaining staff. Your organization needs a talent management strategy that can help you make the most of this new evolving, and increasingly global workforce.
Looking beyond jobs to skills can revolutionise your workforce planning. Mercer can help with reskilling/upskilling, performance management, your internal talent marketplace, succession planning, pay and talent acquisition.
With transformation an everyday reality, the opportunities around skills-based talent practices are unprecedented. Without accelerating progress on their skills agenda, organisations won’t have the talent to take advantage of emerging talent. Leading companies are re-inventing their talent and reward programs around skills and Mercer can show you how.
