Brandon Hall Group to Study How Organizations Can Supercharge Learning

Brandon Hall Group believes that if organizations take an outcome-based approach to learning, employees will become more engaged in learning, see learning as more of an asset than a distraction, change their behaviors and improve performance. In return, businesses will be able to align — or realign — learning with business goals, gain a better understanding of learning’s ROI and demonstrate learning’s impact on the organization.

What Role Does HR Play in Improving Innovation?

No organization, regardless of size, industry or nonprofit/private/publicly traded status, seeks to avoid innovation. What innovation means to each company might differ but being able to grow and adapt to a changing world or merely staying a few steps ahead of those changes is desirable for any organization. However, not every organization approaches innovation the same way, so the question remains: what can organizations do to improve their innovation efforts and what role does HR play?

Upskilling, Reskilling and Employee Retention

Instead of adhering to a skills taxonomy that is carved in stone, companies must build out a strong foundational set of skills to create a learning environment that allows them to adapt as things change.

How To Develop TA Professionals More Effectively

There is no discipline in HR under the microscope more than Talent Acquisition right now. With the
COVID-19 pandemic, the “great resignation,” an uncertain return-to-work and other factors to contend
with, having a team of great TA professionals can be a competitive advantage for any organization.
However, as it stands, many struggle to address their current hiring needs and the needs of a talent
market that is changing more quickly than their TA team can keep up with. It is because of these many
conflicts that a growing number of organizations are seeking ways to improve the quality of their TA
process, starting with the people involved.
