Stop guessing. Know the skills
you need, fast.
Senior HR and business leaders need to deliver the right workforce, but only 1 in 4 companies link skill-building to their business strategy. In as little as four weeks, Simply’s Critical Future Skills solution uses data science, labor insights and AI to map the capability, skills and roles that drive business growth.
Trusted to define critical future skills
Your senior leaders need insight and an approach they can trust to build their growth strategy.
“What skills do we need to deliver our £2bn growth plays? Who to redeploy, reskill or upskill?”
“Which frontline banking skills should we be investing in to drive company growth in the next 2-5 years?”
“How will jobs and skills change across our economy? Which skills will unlock economic growth?”
It all starts with strategy: align everything behind
Don’t waste time, effort and money on developing a workforce and skills that don’t deliver growth. Simply maps out your critical capabilities, skills and roles so all HR activites can be synchronised.
Benchmark your competitors and peers
Anlyse how demand has changed for specific skills and roles. Compare against direct competitors. Learn from named companies who excel in a capability you are seeking to build. Set out strategies based on the robust evidence your leaders demand.
Drive skills-based SWP
With skills-based strategic workforce planning, de-risk your business strategy by prioritising investments. Identify the best cost and value options to acquire critical roles and skills. Simply’s ‘Capability 360’ view combines your internal skill availability with external market demand to power robust decisions.
