Synopsis

Change in the world of work is occurring faster than ever before. The Global Employer Brand is evolving and changing as the result of advances in these areas, Artificial Intelligence, Workforce Analytics, Automation, Digital Transformation, and Changing Employee Expectations. In this dynamic environment, old fashioned talent management approaches, are no longer enough. Agility and responsiveness to change requires an organization's approach to be agile, data-informed and people-centred.
Benefiting from insights from technologists and business leaders, The Future of Talent Management: AI, Analytics, and Workforce Agility examines the new forces reshaping the landscape of talent management and what organizations can do to ensure their employees are prepared for the age of AI, analytics, and workforce agility. New opportunities are emerging around artificial intelligence and its use to enhance recruitment, learning, performance management, workforce planning and employee experiences. Meanwhile, people analytics is fueling the creation of actionable insights and informed decisions from workforce data.
But technology isn't the only thing that may be the shape of talent management's future. Recognizing the importance, ethical aspects, trust of the employees, privacy, inclusion, leadership, creativity, and human judgement remain equally important. Elements that make up a workforce-ready organization include flexible workplaces, internal mobility, ongoing learning and development and adaptable skills.
This book integrates these aspects and offers a hands-on and forward-looking insight into talent management. It is designed for HR professionals, managers, business leaders, educators, students and researchers interested in learning more about the evolving landscape of the world of work and workforce strategy.
Now is the time for organisations to embrace future opportunities to integrate the intelligence of technology with the potential of people. The aim of this book is to help readers confront that future with increased awareness, understanding and direction.
