By 2030, there will be a global human talent shortage of more than 85 million people. According to Accenture, failing to meet the skills demand could put $11.5 trillion in potential GDP growth at risk over the next decade. However, with the threat of a talent shortage, many organizations overinvested in hiring, and those that did so now have to make difficult decisions. Hiring for new skills while laying off workers is not a sustainable solution. Buying skills is no longer the solution. Today, organizations must build and bridge instead. This session highlights the key practices and initiatives organizations has to take for building a sustainable workforce.
