Skills, data, and diversity: Preparing for the workforce of tomorrow

In this episode of Nine to Thrive HR, host Cindi Koetzle engages in an insightful conversation with Jenny Cotie Kangas, Director of Talent Centered Transformation at Eightfold AI.

Jenny shares her expertise in HR technology, focusing on the evolution of work and the need for organizations to adopt a skills-based approach to talent management. We cite projections from the World Economic Forum about the need to reskill 375 million people by 2025 and the priority this raises for organizations to fulfill this need. Jenny emphasizes that the traditional systems of record, like applicant tracking systems, are static and unable to keep pace with the dynamic nature of human skills. She advocates for the implementation of systems of intelligence to enhance agility and address skills gaps.

The episode highlights the critical need for organizations to evolve their talent practices and invest in adaptive HR technologies that can support continuous learning and diversity. The discussion concludes with a call to action for HR professionals to embrace change and lead the transformation needed to prepare for the future of work.
