Episode 383: Finding the Hidden Gems Within the Organization With Dr. Edie Goldberg, Founder of E. L. Goldberg & Associates
The book was really written both for business leaders and HR leaders who are interested in facilitating internal talent mobility. Who are interested in thinking about how do we need to change the way we work given all that’s going on in terms of employee expectations, in terms of the changing skills in the workplace, and really helping companies to optimize the talent that they already have sitting within their company. It’s like, how do we utilize all the skills and experiences of our employees? Because we know that companies just don’t take full advantage of everything that every person brings to the workplace. Episode 383: Finding the Hidden Gems Within the Organization With Dr. Edie Goldberg (@EdieLGoldberg), Founder of E. L. Goldberg & Associates Welcome to the Workology Podcast, a podcast for the disruptive workplace leader. Join host Jessica Miller-Merrell, founder of Workology.com as she sits down and gets to the bottom of trends, tools, and case studies for the business leader, HR, and recruiting professional who is tired of the status quo. Now here’s Jessica with this episode of Workology. Jessica Miller-Merrell: [00:01:13.23] This podcast is powered by Ace The HR Exam and Upskill HR. These are two of the courses I offer for certification prep and recertification for HR leaders. Today’s podcast is an important one. Not just because so many of our employees are remote or spread out, but because workplace and businesses have fundamentally shifted in the last three or four years, making the need to understand the experiences, skills, and abilities for an entire workforce so important. So when things shift, I hope they never do, but they did in 2020, workplaces are ready to respond and be agile, making changes literally in a moment’s notice.
