Agenda Day 2

9:45 AM Exclusive Benchmarking Session: Talent Management & Skill Development

The scarcity of quality talent is an ongoing challenge globally, and Global Business Services (GBS) have revolutionized workforce management and employee experience by embracing new-age talent strategies and fostering a culture of innovation.  

 

In 2024, upskilling talent takes the top spot as the primary objective for SSO/GBS leaders. On the recruitment front, a noticeable trend over the last three years has been the adoption of regional or location-agnostic strategies. Therefore, this webinar will delve into the latest talent strategies in terms of recruitment, attracting talent, prioritized skills, new roles in SSO/GBS, insights into Gen Z motivations, and more. Attendees will have the chance to benchmark their talent strategies against both their peers and SSON’s top 20 most admired GBS organizations.
