Senior Executives Association’s Post

Business Roundtable member Horacio Rozanski, President and Chief Executive Officer of Booz Allen Hamilton, on growing job opportunities for diverse communities: “The requirement sometimes for four-year degrees for jobs that don’t need it leave out the workforce of diverse communities — communities that maybe don’t have access to a college education but can do the job — that can be trained in different ways and be given different opportunities. We’re focused on working with legislators to see if we can change that to open up these jobs to more diverse populations and create more opportunity for the American public.” Watch the full video here: https://lnkd.in/gnXithk9 #CEO #Leadership #Workforce

When considering #Diversity and #Inclusion, have you thought about degree requirements? It wasn’t intuitive to me, but the data is clear— encouraging diversity through inclusive #hiring and career #advancement opportunities is crucial for fostering innovation, and stringent degree requirements hinder diversity. A 2021 study by Harvard Business Review concluded that excessive emphasis on degrees disproportionately affected underrepresented groups, impeding their access to opportunities. Another report by the World Economic Forum found that a skills-based approach to hiring increased diversity by 62%. Shifting the focus to a skills-based approach allows employers to access a broader talent pool, and infuses the workforce with unique perspectives to drive innovation and promote inclusion. Hopefully #recruiters and the #hrcommunity are taking notes. ✍️

It will help to integrate more coperation between #corporategovernance and #internalaudit

Key messages from the session with public sector infrastructure leaders: - the pipeline of work needs to be supported by funding and financing tools fit for scale and purpose - asset management is the key to understand the case for renewals and the need for new assets - once the need is established the Business Case and approval process should be much simpler - our public sector infrastructure professionals take their responsibility very seriously and are committed to finding good outcomes - finding the right solutions and value for money takes time, so spend that time planning, before jumping to announcements - some stuff we just need to get on with, like building safer roads and replacing aging facilities, so just get on with it already! Thanks to all those who shared their insights. I'm looking forward, with Minister Christopher Bishop, to delivering the infrastructure system New Zealand needs to improve economic growth and higher productivity.
