Linking Skills to Business Strategy is Your Competitive Advantage

Creating pathways for employee growth leads to greater talent retention and employee satisfaction.

Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that there were almost two job openings for every unemployed person in January 2023.

Building Pathways to Talent Mobility

According to Gallup, it could cost up to twice an employee’s salary to replace them. When organizations establish frameworks for internal growth, they experience higher employee retention and avoid significant expenses associated with recruiting and onboarding new, untested candidates.

An internal mobility strategy empowers employees to pursue roles that align with their interests while building skills needed within the organization.

A New Approach to Career Architecture

Gallup found the #1 reason employees left their roles during the Great Resignation was because they could not see opportunities for development. According to LinkedIn, finding a job that pays more is the leading reason employees are leaving their jobs in 2023. Creating job architecture that includes both career and pay growth is an opportunity for companies to minimize employee turnover.

Career architecture serves as a visual roadmap for growth and development, helping employees “map” their futures within the organization rather than looking for growth outside. To capture present and future requirements for roles and skills, career architecture should continually evolve with organizational strategy. This enables companies to address modern workforce demands characterized by increased job mobility, the need for diverse skill sets, and changing job requirements.

"It was a pleasure to work with the Acera team. I greatly appreciated the level of expertise, insights and patience that they brought to our organization."

"Within my former company, we were scattered in terms of compensation philosophy but through Acera’s leadership, together, we built a strong compensation philosophy that aligned with our organizational values and goals. By having a detailed compensation strategy we were able to engage with our people to explain how their contributions fit into the organization and how and why the employee is rewarded. We also gained reliable insight into the market value of our roles as they exist today and how that will continue to evolve through future growth and funding. This will help us make better talent and financial decisions going forward."
