The human arsenal has always been a little on the loaded side, and yet it hasn’t seen anything more significant than that desire of ours to improve at a consistent pace. We say this because the stated desire has already fetched some huge milestones, with technology appearing as a rather unique member of the group. The reason why technology’s credentials are so anomalous is focused around its skill-set, which was unprecedented enough to realize all the possibilities for us that we couldn’t have imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, a closer look should be able to reveal how the whole runner was also very much inspired by the way we applied those skills across a real world environment. The latter component was, in fact, what gave the creation a spectrum-wide presence and made it the ultimate centerpiece of every horizon. Now, having such a powerful tool run the show did expand our experience in many different directions, but even after reaching so far ahead, this prodigious concept called technology will somehow keep on delivering the right goods. The same has grown to become a lot more evident in recent times, and assuming one HRM-themed development pans out just like we envision, it will only propel that trend towards greater heights over the near future and beyond.
Guild, the leader in opportunity creation for America’s workforce, has officially confirmed the launch of two new product capabilities i.e. Priority Pathways and Talent Development Analytics to facilitate more optimal career mobility for employees across US. According to certain reports, Guild’s new product capabilities leverage labor market analytics and employer specific metrics to create clear skills-based career plans. Priority Pathways, for instance, functions within 16 different career pathways, including data analytics, nursing, supply chain, finance, software engineering, cybersecurity, and more. All these segments are notably made to be iterative, agile, and flexible so to ensure more sustainable skill development. Another detail which makes the capability special is how Priority Pathways also delivers at your disposal those in-demand gateway roles, or stepping stone roles that are accessible for employees who are still in the early stage of their career. Once the user opts into one of the stated gateway roles, they can progress further to unlock more desirable career prospects at some point.
“We continue to enhance our product capabilities to provide unmatched support to help employers build sustainable workforces and give their employees access to greater career and economic opportunities,” said Dean Carter, Chief People and Purpose Officer at Guild. “Priority Pathways and Talent Development Analytics promote cultures of opportunity where employees feel valued and invested in the success of their employer, and companies benefit from highly-motivated and competitive workforces.”
Complementing the Priority Pathways value proposition is our second product in Talent Development Analytics. This one basically instills a sense of advanced visualization into employers’ Priority Pathways-concerned operation, thus handing them end-to-end data insights on their talent pipelines. These insights cover key trends like program enrollment, program discipline alignment, and program progression. Such an access should, on a more practical level, allow thorough monitoring of employees’ progress from early career exploration to graduation. The moment an employee reaches the point of maturity in their learning journey, talent teams, armed with the proverbial insights, can reach out to them for open positions, should they consider the candidate as suitable.
The development provides an interesting follow-up to multiple studies, studies that claim how nearly half of companies deem improving talent progression processes as integral for building talent within their organization, while simultaneously picking opportunities to achieve career goals at a company as the top predictor of employee retention. At least in theory, Guild’s latest move seems to satisfy both the necessities.
“At Guild, we center all of our work around opportunity and accessibility. These capabilities help employees understand the pathways to unlock opportunities with the highest potential for growth and career mobility,” said Allison Salisbury, Senior Vice President of Partner Solutions at Guild. “At the same time, they help employers confidently drive focus on priority talent needs aligned to their business strategies in order to build robust talent pipelines internally.”
Founded in 2015, Guild’s rise to prominence is orchestrated by its ability to help employers in providing opportunities or personal and professional growth to their workforce. The company’s excellence in what it does can be inferred from the fact that it has already collaborated with giants like Walmart, Chipotle, Discover, Hilton, Target, The Walt Disney Company, Providence Health, UCHealth, and plenty more.
