The fourth industrial revolution brings the next wave of workforce digitisation across the world in 2023 and beyond. What skills and capabilities will define leading talent teams of tomorrow? This two-part series spotlights key focus areas.

In a world where the landscape of work is evolving at an unprecedented pace due to the rapid advancements in generative AI, automation, and other cutting-edge technologies, Talent Acquisition and Resourcing teams are already feeling the impact.

At GMZTAlent, we recognize the transformative nature of these changes and its the sole reason why we exist today. We are here to empower you, your team and business to transform and elevate your talent & employer brand through Lean Six Sigma Methodology and Best in Class People, Process & Technology.

Talent to Become Part of CXO?

In this edition, we explore essential areas where closer coordination seems inevitable – blending talent acquisition with learning and development. This may require some reskilling as pros expand capabilities across the employee lifecycle. We are already seeing companies bring in Chief Experience Officers and People Experience roles and for our Founder and Director, Simon Gomez this seems a natural progression for Talent to report into CXO rather than CPO in the long term.

However in the short to medium term Learning & Development must strengthen attraction competencies while acquisition sharpens development skills. One prime option? Collaborating on next-gen skills assessments spanning external hiring and internal mobility programmes.

Data Scientists Required?

Another space needing attention? Quality of hire data tied to ongoing performance. To enable the continuous UK workforce improvements needed, expect more talent teams to incorporate advanced analytics and data science skills.

Connecting applicant tracking systems, learning platforms, and engagement tools unlocks powerful integrated insights. Blending formerly disparate HR roles also appears on the horizon as executives realize the need to deliver seamless digital employee experiences.

So as industrial revolutions unfold, antiquated talent silos get dissolved in favor of blended HR generalists – powered by analytics, focused on seamless engagement across workstages.

Next edition: How else will AI and automation continue transforming UK HR? Stay tuned for more on that digital future as 2023 draws to a close!
