Our latest podcast brought together three experts to discuss Total Talent Management from their unique perspectives, exploring its benefits, challenges, and potential impact.
In today’s competitive landscape, companies striving for an edge must ensure they have the right talent in the right place at the right time. This approach to sourcing, attracting, and onboarding a contingent workforce could be critical for many organizations.
Laura Handley, Change & Innovation Lead at RedWizard, and sponsor of the podcast, joined Colin Yoshioka-Smith, CW Operations Manager at Keltbray, and Harriet Kirkpatrick, Founder/Director of TRIA Recruitment. Together, they examined what Total Talent Management truly means and how it can help employers secure top talent. Key benefits include cost efficiencies, access to a broader talent pool, and the ability to match specific skills with business needs as they arise.
Handley highlighted the increasing complexity around compliance in workforce management, especially as the new Labour Government considers redefining employee/worker classifications. Yoshioka-Smith added that HMRC is ramping up efforts to address misclassified workers and non-compliance, making Total Talent Management a smart, low-risk strategy for employers.
The discussion underscored the importance of data in implementing effective Total Talent Management. Both Handley and Yoshioka-Smith stressed that good data—on both talent costs and required skills—is essential to maximise the value of this approach. By leveraging this data, businesses can blend contingent and permanent roles for optimal results.
This insightful conversation is a must-listen for anyone looking to master talent management in an era where securing skilled workers is crucial.
