The Human Factor Ep 10: The Attraction of Talent in a Digitally Changing Environment Guest Speakers: Nicola Johnson, Director of Centre of Excellence at Bentley Motors and Jane Harrington, HR Digital Transformation Manager at Bentley Motors. The disruptive nature of the world we live in today is forcing us to change. Adapt or don’t exist is a comment that we have spoken about on the podcast previously. Every facet of the organisations we work in or the choices we make in how we live our lives change far more frequently than ever before. One of the biggest disruptions is without doubt the changing profile of the working demographics and the preferences that we have surrounding how and where we work. In this episode we are going to explore how an organisation going through its own transformation is tackling the strategic imperative of attracting talent and how it is overcoming some of the challenges prevalent today in sourcing and hiring talent into their organisation. The war for talent has existed for many years, but talking to several organisations in recent times, it has now become more difficult than ever. Key Topics How are we reflecting our brand values, our strategy and brand commitment to future candidates? How is the changing strategic direction of the organisation also reflected in external campaigns? What are some of the complexities that are being seen in sourcing and finding talent? What are we observing in terms of the changing expectations of candidates? What do we see as an optimal strategy to find and attract talent in the coming years?
