What Best Practices are Emerging to Understand and Measure Skills in the Talent Pool?
Get PDF[Excerpt] One of the largest problems facing companies today is the shortage of available and qualified talent. This skills gap is largely going unaddressed with 60% of executives reporting that they cannot keep their workforce current on necessary skills. In the future, this problem is likely to intensify as millions of workers are forced to reskill or change jobs or industries due to technical innovation.

This is especially true given today’s workforce expects businesses to prepare them for the newest industrial wave. Therefore, organizations must take ownership of their employees’ development to remain competitive. Most recently, we have seen the learning and development (L&D) function utilize typical delivery methods such as instructor-led classroom and online sessions, self-paced online learning, and instructor-led remote video call-ins. However, with internal business practices adopting a customer-centric model, it is imperative that the learning community also approach learner engagement outside of the traditional scope to establish a culture of learning that excites and motivates employees to prepare for the future. This summary will outline key considerations for motivating employees to engage in learning and highlight innovative methods that organizations can add to their learning portfolio

Get PDFWith the growing attention to entrepreneurship as an engine of job creation and economic development, it is important for social scientists who are broadly interested in labor market and employment topics to focus attention on new firms and the policies and practices that surround them. The authors argue that the next generation of scholarship should pay particular attention to labor market institutions, the ecosystem of existing employers, and the human resource management practices that provide the strategic context for entrepreneurs and shape the career opportunities for workers. Remarkable variation occurs across space and time in the prevalence and performance of entrepreneurs. There are also many open questions as to the antecedents and consequences of entrepreneurship, for entrepreneurs, their communities, and their employees. The availability of new administrative data across many countries will allow for comparative cross-national studies and will provide opportunities to bring qualitative and mixed-method approaches to entrepreneurial labor market studies. This introduction and the articles in this special issue offer a path forward
