The Talent Strategy Check-Up: Is Your Team Enabling Organisational Growth?

Your HR team plays a pivotal role in driving organisational growth. But is your talent strategy truly aligned with your company’s ambitions? The Talent & Capability Building pillar of the Index by UDDER focuses on helping HR leaders evaluate their readiness to enable growth through targeted development and strategic alignment.

Self-Assessment: Questions to Ask

Take a moment to reflect on these key areas of your talent strategy:

• How clearly defined are your organisation’s digital transformation goals, and how do HR roles align with these?
• What strategies are in place to attract and retain digitally skilled HR talent?
• How would you rate the alignment of HR roles and responsibilities with your digital transformation objectives?

These questions aren’t just theoretical—they’re part of a framework designed to help you benchmark your team’s readiness.

Evaluating L&D Efforts

A strong talent strategy relies on effective learning and development initiatives. Ask yourself:

• What initiatives are you currently undertaking to enhance digital skills within your HR team?
• How do you measure the effectiveness of these initiatives? Metrics like employee engagement, skill assessment scores, and adoption of new tools can provide valuable insights.

Building a Future-Ready HR Team

Here are three practical steps to align your talent strategy with growth goals:

1. Prioritise Digital Skills
From analytics to automation tools, digital skills are now a must-have for HR professionals. Evaluate your current team and identify areas for development.

2. Align Roles with Strategy
Ensure every role within the HR team directly supports your organisation’s strategic goals. This alignment creates a clear connection between HR efforts and business outcomes.

3. Support Continuous Learning
Establish a learning culture that prioritises upskilling and reskilling. Whether it’s offering access to courses or hosting in-house training, continuous development is key.

Final Thoughts

Your talent strategy isn’t just about hiring the right people—it’s about empowering your existing team to thrive in a digital-first world. By evaluating your current strategy and taking targeted action, you can build an HR team that’s ready to enable growth and drive meaningful transformation.
