Ep 537: Strategic Workforce Planning Aug 02, 2023

Show notes

One of the key themes I've observed emerging over the last few years is the need for employers to think about talent holistically. To achieve this, progressive organizations are already breaking down the barriers between talent acquisition, talent management, and L&D. The central tenet is Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP).

So what does effective SWP look like, how is AI changing thought processes, and what role does Talent Acquisition need to play?

My guest this week is Sadhana Bhide, Strategic Workforce Planning Subject Matter Expert at Faethm by Pearson. Sadhana has expert insights to share on the current state and future development of SWP, and this is a must-listen for TA leaders everywhere.

In the interview, we discuss:

What is SWP, and why is it so important?

Unique strategic advantages

Engaged workforces

The 6 Bs that underpin SWP

The impact of AI on jobs

What role should Talent Acquisition play in SWP?

One of the continuing themes on the show has been how many employers are starting to think differently about talent and potential. It's always good to get a perspective from outside the industry.

Ep 536: AI -Benefits, Risks and Potential Jul 19, 2023

Show notes

AI has dominated the discussion for months now, and if recent conversations are anything to go by, this shows no sign of letting up. However, the initial hysteria is fading, and the hype is slowly turning into meaningful discussions about what the AI-driven future will look like.

So what is the potential of AI in TA and HR, what are the current benefits, and perhaps most importantly, what are the risks? I was keen to get the perspectives of a Chief People Officer on all of this, so I'm delighted that my guest this week is Geri Morgan, Chief People Officer at Intellum. Gerri has some excellent advice to share and even got ChatGPT to actively participate in our conversation!

In the interview, we discuss:

What aspects of employer engagement will benefit from AI?

Personalization

The opportunities AI offers HR

Tech for tasks - AI as our new co-worker

What are the current use cases?

Compliance, ethics, and legislation

Keeping the momentum of innovation going

Mitigating risk

Building out AI-enabled processes
