For mid-sized companies or smaller businesses looking to scale, upskilling your workforce is essential to growth. However, the landscape is tough right now. A Sage survey asked HR leaders what they’re spending significantly more time on now than in the previous year, HR leaders placed ‘Retaining talent’ joint-second (57%).
The solution? Data. Over half (53%) of HR leaders working at medium-sized businesses said that ‘increased upskilling’ was the top solution to current challenges, while over 50% of HR leaders said they have started using data to drive decision-making. Embracing data and analytics can help businesses close skills gaps, identify future leaders, and develop talent to future-proof the company with the people and skills needed to thrive now and in the future.
So, how can HR professionals best utilise data driven analytics to solve the ongoing challenges of upskilling, retainment, and workforce management? This People Management Insight webinar, produced in partnership with Sage, has invited an expert panel to discuss:
- Using data to identify high-level skills in your workforce to improve upskilling
- Using HR data and analytics to drive profitability and scale
- How to put data at the heart of decision-making
- How to get confident with data and analytics
- Using data to identify and action the skills gaps in your workforce
- Why HR leaders should be investing in their own development
