As the CEO of PeopleBlox, I constantly live and breathe talent. It's my passion, my area of expertise, and frankly, it keeps me up at night (in a good way!). But one of the biggest challenges I see companies facing is truly understanding the skills they have and the skills they need. That's where 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 comes in, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer. I know, I know. It might sound a bit…technical. ⚙ But fear not! Skill mapping is essentially a blueprint for your workforce's capabilities. It's like having a map of hidden treasure – in this case, the hidden treasure being the unrealized potential of your team. Here's my personal 5-step breakdown to skill mapping mastery, because let's be honest, who has time for a theoretical deep dive? We're busy CEOs, after all! 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 1: 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐖𝐡𝐲 ❓ Every great treasure hunt needs a starting point. 👉 What's driving you to map your skills? 👉 Are you looking to improve project efficiency? 👉 Prepare for future growth? Identifying your "why" will keep you focused and help you tailor your skill map. In my experience PeopleBlox uses skill mapping to ensure you have the right talent in place. It helps to identify areas where we might need to upskill or hire new team members. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 2: 𝐔𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐆𝐞𝐦𝐬 (𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞𝐬)💎 It's time to gather your crew! In this case, your crew is your amazing team. There are two main ways to tackle this step: 👉 Self-Assessment Surveys 👉 Skills-Based Interviews 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 3: 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 (𝐌𝐚𝐩 𝐈𝐭 𝐎𝐮𝐭) 💹 Now for the fun part - building the map itself! There's no one-size-fits-all approach here. You can use a simple spreadsheet, project management software, or even a mind map. The key is to choose a format that works for you and your team. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 4: 𝐗 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭 (𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐩𝐬) ❎ With your map in hand, it's time to analyze the treasure (or lack thereof). Look for areas where there might be skill gaps or redundancies. For example, at PeopleBlox, our skill map might reveal a need for additional data analysis expertise for a new project. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 5: 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 (𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧!) 🔛 our skill map is a springboard for action. Use it to develop targeted training programs, identify mentorship opportunities, or inform future hiring decisions. Remember, 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. It should be reviewed and updated regularly to reflect changes in your team and your organization's goals. So, what are you waiting for? Grab your metaphorical shovel and start digging for the hidden treasure within your team! After all, in the ever-changing world of talent, a good skill map is your key to unlocking success. #SkillMapping #RoleReadinessIndex #TalentReadinessIndex #SuccessionPlanning #MindMap #PeopleBlox

I recently polled my network on the biggest factor influencing HR's success in the coming years, and the results were a nail-biter!  𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐞!

It seems #HR's future is about striking a balance between attracting top talent (employer brand) and leveraging data to make strategic decisions. Here's why both options are crucial for HR success: 👉 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚-𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 • Data empowers HR to make informed decisions about everything from recruitment strategies to employee development programs. • Imagine using data to identify high-potential employees or predict turnover risks?

A stellar brand attracts rockstar talent, reduces recruitment costs, and boosts employee morale. 𝐒𝐨, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲? 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫/𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧!

I usually read books about personal development, business, and innovation. Recently, I stumbled upon "𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐄𝐚𝐭 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐭" by Simon Sinek, and it fits perfectly into my interests. I'm glad I picked this, and it turns out to be amazing. In his book, Sinek explores how leaders can inspire loyalty and commitment among their team members by fostering a 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲, which creates a sense of belonging and security within the organization. The book resonated deeply with me. I've personally experienced the power of Circles of Safety and people-centered leadership, as well as the challenges of navigating a multigenerational workplace. The other interesting science behind Simon Sinek’s book is the 4 chemicals that are naturally created in our bodies. Those are: 🎭 Endorphin: the pain-masking chemical 🎯 Dopamine: the goal achieving chemical 🤵 Serotonin: the leadership chemical 🤗 Oxytocin: the chemical of love This book flips the script on stress hormones. It argues that leaders who prioritize employee well-being and trust (serotonin & oxytocin) will build a stronger, more resilient company than those solely focused on short-term motivators (endorphins & dopamine). 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒐𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒕𝒚𝒍𝒆. While I believed I possessed strong leadership knowledge and emotional intelligence, Sinek's insights offered a refreshing perspective that resonated strongly with me. The Key Takeaway for me in this book is: “𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒐𝒘𝒏. 𝑮𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒍𝒚 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇-𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕.” This accessible read is a gem for anyone entering the workforce, millennial or not. It reframes how you see your role within a company, empowering you to make a difference and become a leader. #BookReview #SimonSinek #BusinessDevelopment #Innovation #LinkedinReviews

By focusing on DEI, we're not just checking boxes; we're creating a dynamic workplace where everyone contributes their unique talents. That's what excites me about HR! 7️⃣ 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞 Ever miss those inspiring hallway chats with colleagues? Replicating that connection in a remote world can be tough for HR leaders. Our remote teams are productive, but without casual interaction, collaboration and team spirit can suffer. As HR champions, we bridge the gap. It's all about fostering a happy, engaged workforce that drives company success. 8️⃣ 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞 The rise of work-from-home and hybrid models reflects a strong employee desire for flexibility to optimize productivity and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
