Recently, the business world has been facing more and more challenges. In a competitive world, with rapidly evolving technologies, working methods have to adapt. This is obvious when we see, for example, the consequences that Covid has had, with the dramatic rise of telecommuting. In the same way, another very serious problem facing our professional world is the ignorance of skills and talents within a company.

To remedy this, we need to see that this problem can be broken down into three different issues. The first of these is the ever-increasing rate of disengagement. Then there's the fact that skills are rapidly becoming obsolete, and it's not easy to know which ones are in demand. The final issue is the wide disparity of skills, which makes each Talent more complicated to identify. The answers to each of these issues will help us to rediscover Talent skills.

1. Disengagement on the rise

According to the World Economic Forum, over 70% of employees say they feel disengaged at work. A feeling of disengagement comes from not feeling happy and intellectually stimulated at work. The serious problem with disengagement is that it leads to a lack of effort on the part of an individual, and therefore logically, a lack of results for the company. One of the main solutions to this problem is therefore to identify what makes employees happy and therefore fundamentally committed.

One way of doing this effectively is to offer opportunities according to each individual's skills and experience. As well as feeling free within the company, they will see that they are being pushed to succeed and develop. In fact, the ideal would be to have a Marketplace for your Talents to access the best development opportunities, with personalized recommendations for mobility, projects and training, tailored to each individual's skills needs and career path.

2. Skills become obsolete

According to a Gartner study, 33% of skills have become obsolete. The first problem with this is that the company is therefore making significant investments in talent, which in reality doesn't provide anything crucial. Another important issue is the need to be constantly aware of the talent on the job market. In fact, you need to know which talents exist within your company, so that you can support them with training or even vertical retraining. You must try to avoid one of the common pitfalls of recruitment, which is to think directly of looking for talent from outside, when those who already exist can simply be trained.One solution to these problems is to anticipate your needs in order to identify your company's critical skills. This will give you the opportunity to implement upskilling and reskilling strategies at scale, based on the talents you need and that are in demand.

3. Not knowing what skills you have

On average, 40% of companies don't know what skills they have. There are two main reasons for this. The first is that the company doesn't take the time to identify which talent possesses which skill(s). The other possibility is that it simply can't get all the data onto a single database. Indeed, as each individual is constantly developing, it's difficult to methodically keep up to date with what he/she is capable of doing. The solution is to have 360º visibility of everyone's skills. Indeed, the goal would be to have an instant view of the skills of talents, teams and the organization!
