Even the most sophisticated business strategies can become rhetoric if they are not tied to systems and processes in the talent area. In the global knowledge economy, People's skills, learning, talents and attributes – the Human Capital – have become key to a wider economic growth.

How Claudia is building a better working world

If organizations do not offer a simple, pleasant experience to their employees, they will struggle to engage and retain them. Changes in demographics, scarcity of capabilities and pressure from competition have gradually allowed for a shift of power from employers towards employees. In such a context, building a better working world has a very practical meaning to me: specifically, helping organizations overall to succeed creating those cultures and those experiences that make people want to stay over.
