It also provides crucial guidance on how to continuously develop employees, including leaders, to ensure that the organization has the skills it needs both for today and the future.This book provides advice on how to create new processes that are fit for purpose in the age of digital transformation, build inclusion when digital culture is becoming more prominent and use digital abilities effectively to maximise productivity while maintaining employee wellbeing. Digital Talent is the book on talent that HR, talent acquisition professionals and business leaders need to make sure that their people, and the business as a whole, stay ahead of the competition.
