Paul Phillips, Global Head of Talent Acquisition at Avanade, Joins Us to Discuss Why Talent Leaders Need To Become Talent Creators

On this episode of the Employee Cycle podcast, we have Paul Phillips, Global Head of Talent Acquisition at Avanade, joining us to discuss what a talent creator is (a bit of a provocative title!) and why it’s important for talent leaders to make this shift in a fast-changing world. After all, we don’t know what types of jobs we’ll need in the next 12-18 months. 

What you’ll learn from this episode:

  • First off, how did Paul Phillips get into the HR world?
  • Secondly, what is a Talent Creator? And how does it affect the HR leader role?
  • Next, the HR lifecycle has 3 main tenets: attraction, development, and retention. Where does talent creation fit in?
  • Is transference of skills a squishy subject in your organization?
  • Who is responsible for ensuring skillsets are where they should be in the workforce – Students? Parents? Educators? Coaches?
  • Too many of us wait for others to do something different or change the rules of the HR game. Step up and lead the change. See the impact you will have!
