Silicon Valley Networking & The Inside Gig: How Sharing Untapped Talent Across Boundaries Unleashes Organizational Capacity

Join us for some networking followed by an insightful session on how sharing untapped talent across boundaries unleashes organizational capacity!

Description

What if the talent you’re seeking to hire is already on your company’s payroll but going untapped? Employees often have capabilities and aspirations that go far beyond their current job descriptions. Edie Goldberg & Kelley Steven-Waiss will show you how to optimize and energize your workforce by deploying the skills of the employees you already have inside your firm across organizational boundaries.

Learning Objectives

  • Uncover the hidden skills within your workforce
  • Create a new “Talent Operating Model” to uncover and cost-effectively match the right talent to real-time business challenges
  • Apply machine learning and AI in managing the allocation of resources across departments
  • Bust the “functional silos” in your company to create agile, collaborative teams
  • Improve employee retention by offering employees the opportunity to expand their careers within your organization rather than leaving in search of new challenges

In a rapidly changing economy that demands the constant reskilling of workers, the future belongs to companies that can access and deploy talent quickly and efficiently. Today’s organizations need to be able to quickly pivot and move talent to the greatest area of need.  Unlock the hidden skills within your organization to keep your employees happy and engaged, improve your organization’s agility, and lower your costs.
