Job-to-Skills Mapping and Talent Architecture Across Diverse Brands

For Bree Sykes, Senior Learning and Organizational Development Business Partner, driving alignment across a global hybrid workforce without the systems to support it was daunting. But she and her team recognized that building a consistent job-to-skills map was essential to providing employees with clearer career paths and development opportunities.
