When looking to source talent,<br />
Gormley highlights the importance<br />
of combining human connection<br />
with innovation to not only develop<br />
employees, but also the business.<br />
Industries are continuously changing<br />
and adapting, and organisations<br />
shouldn’t shy away from utilising<br />
multiple forms of employment such as<br />
apprenticeship programmes, alongside<br />
traditional employment methods,<br />
as well as utilising transferable skills.<br />
“There is no one answer to this, but<br />
we’ve found that the human connection<br />
intertwined with innovation, is<br />
fundamental to building and maintaining<br />
a culture of continuous learning as<br />
well as attracting talent that aligns<br />
with our values.”<br />
Inclusion and diversity is essential<br />
to innovation. When sourcing, maintaining<br />
and retaining talent, it is key to<br />
ensure an organisation is inclusive.<br />
“We have found that certain language<br />
used in job profiles could dissuade<br />
female talent from applying. Therefore,<br />
we have implemented a tool that<br />
analyses the language in our job<br />
descriptions to ensure that we are<br />
attractive to a diverse pool of potential<br />
