New Recommendations for Business Leaders

Instead of hiring talent for specific skillsets, organizations should pivot to hiring for specific mindsets, one of which should be adaptability. This may mean having HR rethink traditional job descriptions and application requirements, which would likely widen the pool of applicants and increase diversity. Organizations should also consider developing training or rotational programs or building talent marketplace platforms that allow workers to learn new skills and capabilities, which can improve organizations’ abilities to easily redeploy workers depending on business needs and worker interests.
