Companies are still failing on inclusion and diversity. The business case for diversity is well documented “Companies in the top quartile for racial and ethnic diversity are 36% more likely to have financial returns above their respective national industry medians” and “companies in the top quartile for gender diversity are 25% more likely to have financial returns above their respective national industry medians” (McKinsey, 2020). This is not about arbitrary targets or quotas – this is about business success. What can organisations do to address these challenges?

We were delighted to be featured in this month’s issue of theHRDIRECTOR, the independent, thought-led publication for Senior HR Practitioners.

In the new ecosystem of work, businesses need to be global as well as local, remote as well as physical. In a skill-driven market they’ll need to base their people strategy on skills supply and demand - rather than on people or jobs in a location. But there’s a major hurdle here. The way skills are described by employers and candidates across markets and industries vary massively, creating what we call ‘noisy’ data.

We are very excited to announce that Talent Intuition has been shortlisted in the Service Industries Entrepreneur of the Year category at the 2020 Great British Entrepreneur Awards for the Wales region! We are proud to call ourselves officially a Great British Entrepreneur Awards finalist after contending with some incredibly stiff competition.

As more of more of the issues businesses face are people centric we see the rise of the CHRO and a people first growth strategy. But to be successful a strategy needs to be informed by data - not just internal people analytics, but real time and predictive data. We explore this in this blog.

All too often HR is involved in strategic decisions too late. This leaves HR and talent teams reacting to a problem, rather than proactively informing the decision. Our philosophy is that to revolutionise the decision-making process, we need to empower HR with the right information.

It’s the best and worst of times for decision makers says McKinsey. How can we make the best decisions for the business, in short timescales given the explosion of data in the market?

Using internal HR data for evidence-based decision making is becoming the norm. But how can HR use external talent data to support strategic decision making?

The ‘war for talent’ was first coined by Steven Hankin of McKinsey & Company in 1997. 22 years later it's as relevant as ever. Should have expected more progress by now?
