Ep 586: Removing Silos to Improve Hiring and Retention
The ever-shortening shelf life of skills, fast-changing business priorities, ageing populations, and changing attitudes to work means that retaining the right talent is not only more difficult than ever, it is also likely to remain so for years to come.\n\nIt's not surprising, then, that Talent Leaders are starting to think differently about the structure of their function to remove silos and foster collaboration between Talent Acquisition, Talent Management, L&D and other vital people functions.\n\nSo what kind of overarching vision is needed to drive effective cross-function thinking, and what strategic role should TA play internally within the organization?\n\nMy guest this week is H\xe9l\xe8ne Loine, VP of Human Resources at Ekkiden.
