“As a CFO, you’re ideally positioned to lead in building confidence in models and ensuring they’re used ethically and responsibly.” Reading this from PwC I’m struck that these words apply equally to L&D pros. I love these steps for creating an ethical framework around AI use.

The latest article by Josh Bersin highlights a critical oversight many organisations face: undervaluing their #talentacquisition teams. https://lnkd.in/gecsbAXc As Bersin articulates, TA is often viewed as a low-cost fulfilment centre, rather than the strategic powerhouse it can and should be. At SmartRecruiters, we fully support Bersin's assertion that TA must transition from simply filling positions to being a central part of strategic workforce planning. It's alarming that only 32% of TA leaders are involved in strategic planning, and many struggle with day-to-day demands due to a lack of support. SmartRecruiters is committed to transforming how organisations view and utilise their TA teams. Our platform not only streamlines recruitment processes but also integrates seamlessly with internal mobility, culture, and employee experience initiatives. By leveraging advanced AI and automation, we enable TA professionals to focus on strategic initiatives, ensuring they can answer crucial questions about skills, cultural fit, and internal talent development. Investing in and empowering your TA team is essential for future-proofing your organisation. As the labour market grows increasingly competitive, businesses that recognise and elevate the strategic role of TA will be better positioned to attract and retain top talent. Let's stop viewing TA as a cost centre and start seeing it as a strategic partner in achieving organisational growth and success.

Executive teams are looking to HR to be a deeper, more insightful partner throughout the business.
