Description:
Traditional skill appraisal methods—self-reported assessments and manager evaluations—are often incomplete and unreliable, limiting organizations’ ability to leverage the benefits of their talent investments. This session, based on Mercer’s latest research, explores how recognition data becomes an invaluable source of data to identify and confirm skills—providing a real-time, validated view of how skills are currently used within an organization, and mitigating bias that can emerge through other means of skills identification. Learn how effective recognition can uncover hidden talent, reduce bias in hiring and promotions, and align workforce development with business goals.
In this session you will learn:
– Why skills-powered organizations outperform their peers and how to align recognition with talent development strategies.
– How to leverage recognition data to organically uncover and confirm employee skills accurately, in real time.
– How to design meaningful recognition programs that deliver skills-rich data, the key to uncovering hidden potential and supporting business
