Retaining high value talent

"Our company was in an industry where there was a talent crunch, as our current workforce was aging, and it was hard to attract younger workers to join. Beyond a need to grow and retain a strong pipeline of talent, we needed to ensure we could do more with less workers in the future. The first step we took was to work with JobKred to harmonise key skills across the company, and identify new technologies to adopt, then set this into our competency framework. Next, we worked with our supervisors to onboard all the workers, carry out skills assessments, detect key skilled and high performance talent that was critical to retain, and identify skills gaps to send workers for training. With the JobKred system, we were able to support our initiative of creating a "family" corporate culture, to easily rotate our staff around our 7 countries of operations to encourage familiarity, and also to build a stronger talent pipeline with more cross functional experience. JobKred's system enabled us to reach this goal much faster than planned, and with minimal implementation effort, as well as enabled us to easily maintain this initiative with a digital platform, to better retain our workers."
