Conventional talent pool management methods are fraught with numerous challenges that impede their efficiency and effectiveness.
Talent planning is essential for an organization's 'Skills-first' journey. It serves as a strategic priority for HR teams, allowing them to optimize employee performance and development, identify skills gaps, and improve mobility for open job roles and requisitions.
Having clear visibility into your workforce data not only eliminates decisions based on managerial instincts but also streamlines several HR processes, such as talent management.
When faced with a vacant position within your organization, how do you ensure that you allocate resources effectively to accomplish the task at hand?
Whether it's Talent Acquisition or Talent Development, Skills Mapping is crucial for matching the right talent with the right job roles. When done effectively, it not only boosts the overall productivity of the workforce but also equips your organization to stay competitive, enhance retention rates, and adapt to future market and technological changes.
As skills adapt to market demands and technological progress, they create a gap in your workforce that can only be bridged by either recruiting new talent or enhancing the skills of existing employees to meet the demand.
Did you know that replacing a single employee can cost your company up to 200% of their annual salary? That’s why employee turnover has become a nightmare for every company.
It’s been said and heard a hundred times that ‘the people’ are the real strength of any organization. But this fact stays irrelevant if you lack a bird’s eye view into their specific skill set as well as current job performance.

As the times change and the world is continually exposed to new technological advancements, conventional tech skills are also evolving and transforming into "power" skills.
With our increasing dependency on digitization, tech skills have become crucial for all organizations, regardless of their industry. As more and more organizations are automating their workflow to meet the demands of the ongoing technological disruptions, tech skills are also evolving at an unprecedented rate and introducing new skills and job portfolios into the mix. At iMocha, we partnered with EY to understand this ongoing paradigm shift and answer three critical questions: What would be the in-demand tech skills across domains in 2025 and beyond? What would be the strategic and functional impacts of tech skills transformation? How are organizations responding to tech skills transformation?

The answer can be organizational readiness through skills intelligence!
