Does Your Business Have Talent Debt? 

Written by Adam Jorgensen | Jun 30, 2017

OK, so we’re half way through the year; are you meeting your goals for your business? If not, what’s holding you back? It’s probably talent debt. Let me tell you what you need to take your skills or talent debt worries off your plate, so you can focus on getting traction on your new initiatives.

How do you get into talent debt? If you spend all your time planning and evaluating, and your team spends their time on commodity development and support tasks, no one is spending the time needed to move new initiatives forward. In addition to that, your team may not have skills that are necessary to drive new initiatives.

So, what's the solution?

1.  Strategic Partner

Bring in strategic support from a partner. Pragmatic Works can help you assess where you are, train your team and bring in the expertise to move your projects forward. We’ve been doing this for over 10 years for over 7500 customers.

2.  Hire New People

Do you have open roles that you need to fill with qualified people? Pragmatic Works staffing services will work tirelessly to screen and find the best resources for your short or long-term data professional roles. We’ll find the right person to bring new ideas and technology skills for your solutions, as well as to mentor your team.

3.  Formal Training

Bringing in or offering training and support programs to empower your team with the skills they need is a key factor. Most teams want to learn about what’s new out there and what’s next for the business.

4.  Reshaping Teams

Make sure the team you have, is the team you want and need to grow your business. Be sure you have a team that is embracing where the company is going. Most of time, 90-95% of your team is excited about new initiatives and technology and the investment that you are willing to put into them. The ability to reshape your team over 6-12 months will get rid of talent debt.
