Business Challenge
Fishawack Health is growing fast and plans to expand by a further 2.5x in the next year. The challenge is that there is a small talent pool of highly skilled professionals in their very competitive industry.
Fishawack Health has been competing for talent within a small talent pool through mergers and acquisitions and external recruitment. However, these efforts alone were not enough to deliver the fast growth that Nick Holmes, Global Head of Professional Development at Fishawack Health, and his team were after. As a result, their overarching talent strategy needed to evolve.
What they needed was a way to scale skill identification in a highly acquisition-focused environment. They also needed to understand what skill gaps they will need to close to be future-ready.
Nick Holmes came to Fishawack Health with an innovative plan. He made the business case for Fuel50 before starting in the job and is now working through implementing it as he onboards, giving him a fast start to impact company goals.
The Solution
Nick Holmes chose Fuel50’s AI Marketplace for a central role in Fishawack Health’s growth. As part of their overarching professional development strategy, Nick and his team wanted to create a ‘super learning environment’ where they put their employees at the heart of their careers.
As a result, Fuel50 was implemented as a centrepiece in their new HR Infrastructure.
Fuel50’s AI Talent Marketplace solution supported Fishawack Health meet its people experience objectives by:
- Providing insight into Succession Planning
- Offering Coaching Opportunities to leaders
- Increasing Internal Recruitment
- Increasing Talent Mobility
