Developing a Talent Board; Uniting People and Business Functions for Strategic Input and Collaboration
For many organisations, the line between Talent Acquisition, Workforce Planning, Mobility and Talent Management are increasingly blurring, meaning that we must shift from siloed cooperation to harmonised collaboration. To accomplish this, Downer Group have developed an internal ‘Talent Board’ made up of people from across the organisation all focused and pointing the same direction. Maisie will share how it was developed, their remit, cadence, challenges, and outcomes.
