AI readiness doesn’t come in one flavor. So why are so many companies serving up the same generic “AI 101” to everyone? 🧐 What a frontline worker needs from AI training isn’t what a senior leader needs to reshape strategy. That’s why a persona-based skilling strategy matters. It meets people where they are and moves them where your business needs to go. 🎯 Targeted learning. 📊 Role-specific relevance. 🚀 Real business impact.

The next era of HR? Fewer blockers. More builders. At our latest Meeting of the Minds, we gathered HR leaders to look ahead and discuss not just what’s changing, but what’s fundamentally shifting. By 2030, the structure and purpose of HR will look very different. Attendees focused on the roles HR is uniquely positioned to lead as the world of work changes. Fewer one-size-fits-all forecasts and more bold, honest conversations leading to big ideas that matter. Here’s what stood out: 💡 AI is already reshaping HR roles ➡️ The HR teams of the future will be lean, strategic, and tech-augmented. They will be built to guide talent through change, not just track it. 💡 HR will need business vision, not just business acumen ➡️ The next evolution of business acumen is influence: HR will be expected to design orgs, develop leaders, and drive growth through talent. 💡 Wisdom becomes the new core competency ➡️ With process handled by AI, the uniquely human work rises in value: sensemaking, culture shaping, and leadership through complexity. 💡 New HR talent may not come from HR at all ➡️ More will rotate in from ops, product, or finance, bringing a fresh lens on how to grow people in ways that grow the business. Let’s keep the conversation going and keep building for what comes next. Thanks to the incredible HR leaders who joined us at Guild HQ!

Apprenticeships are back and bigger than ever. Or at least, they could be. But there’s one problem: Most programs are stuck serving a handful of employees, while the rest of your workforce waits for their shot.

We asked over 500 CHROs and HR Leaders what they’re doing about workforce transformation. Turns out that everyone’s talking about it, but many are still struggling to do it well. 📉Only 15% of HR teams significantly prioritize meeting their #workforcetransformation goals. Here’s what else the data says.👇  https://lnkd.in/g724XYGd What are you doing differently to achieve transformation?

Replacing a single employee can cost up to 4x their annual salary. And for frontline roles? The churn hits hardest: 53% leave in the first year. Investing in skilling for your employees = stronger retention, a more adaptable workforce, and ultimately better bottom-line results. This isn’t just a talent strategy. It’s a business imperative.
