This Week in Talent (10 Dec)

This week we share an informative whitepaper examining the barriers to success for internal mobility, find out what are the skills required for different functions as we move in 2021 (very relevant as we plan our future workforce), enjoy a self-reflection piece from one of our Melbourne Rec Meetup organisers Matt Woodard, and more!

The changing face of technology consulting

Matt Woodard is a familiar face around the local TA scene and he wrote this self-reflection piece on recruiting for a tech professional services firm. There are valuable lessons here but it is their approach which is the most important lesson – authenticity is key to creating a motivated culture that enables people to do their best work.
