Futureproof your business with the right workforce skills

On Tuesday 9 April, Justin Rix, Partner in People Advisory, was joined by Jenn Barnett, Head of Diversity, Equality and Inclusion, and Katie Nightingale, Director in People Advisory for a roundtable conversation on how organisations are finding the skills needed today and in the future.

Justin discussed how organisations can execute their skills strategies - through reskilling employees to fill the gaps, building skills from scratch and utilising early careers programmes and apprenticeships.

Katie explained how strategic workforce-planning can enable businesses to prioritise the most relevant skills.

And Jenn talked about how skills-planning ties into the wider inclusion and diversity agenda, including overcoming barriers to entry and progression, and the commercial advantages of prioritising long term diverse talent planning  – illustrated by practical examples of how we do it at Grant Thornton UK.
