Episode Description:

Live from UNLEASH Paris, we're joined by KeyAnna from Workhuman to talk about how leadership, hiring, and employee development are evolving. We discuss why skills-based hiring is creating new opportunities for talent acquisition, how companies can uncover talent already inside their organizations, and why humility may be one of the most important leadership skills for the future. Plus, KeyAnna shares how Workhuman uses everyday employee recognition to inform performance conversations and development opportunities, and why TA teams should think of themselves as strategic business partners.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Skills-based hiring starts with understanding the work that actually needs to be done, not relying on outdated job descriptions.

  2. Talent acquisition and talent management teams can work together to identify internal employees whose skills transfer into unexpected roles.

  3. Humility is becoming an essential leadership skill as organizations navigate change and leaders learn to admit they don't have all the answers.

  4. Employee recognition should extend beyond exceptional performance to include everyday contributions, collaboration, and teamwork.

  5. Talent acquisition teams have an opportunity to become more strategic business partners by bringing workforce insights into broader organizational decisions.
