"We have 5000 people at Spark. All of these people could potentially move internally. While this hasn’t been done at scale previously, there is now a burning platform to make the most out of the talent already in the business, both in terms of retaining skills, but also in terms of providing ongoing opportunities for our people to grow and develop."
"From a people strategy perspective, we asked ‘how do we maximize everyone’s potential?’ And that’s where the concept of the talent marketplace fits in very beautifully."
“We’ve seen people apply and be considered for work that they’ve never heard about. They’re seeing and being seen and that’s a huge employee engagement driver. And now on the other side of it, on the demand side of it, we’ve seen work owners now accessing talent that they never knew existed.”
"Our mission at Schneider Electric is to ensure that Life Is On for everyone. This promise extends to our own employees, offering them various opportunities for growth within Schneider."
"We always said the employee is empowered to drive their own career but for a long time, we weren't actually enabling it. And that's where Gloat's talent marketplace has really helped us. Now we're able to put our money where our mouth is."
"It’s so heartwarming. It makes you feel like you're making a difference in your company, and unleashing the potential of people."
"There are platforms that are very capable, but the user experience is not where it needs to be. That really affects adoption. Gloat really came out ahead being consumer-grade for our employees and managers?"
"With Unlocked [powered by Gloat], we can collaborate across regions, uncover new ideas, and challenge assumptions. [Gloat] is allowing us to open up the boundaries of our teams and expand our talent reach–to ultimately grow and develop with each other."
"Our employees take ownership of their careers, and our business creates value and drives innovation for our customers."
"This partnership is a further step in building an organisation that is future fit. We have listened to what our colleagues are telling us around career progression, development opportunities and employee experience and have brought in a solution that offers upskilling and reskilling opportunities, while for the Bank, making it easier to deploy the right people to the right opportunities."
"Gloat's talent marketplace is an enormous opportunity for D&I. We're creating an inclusive environment where we can get diversity of thoughts from a variety of different people and introduce them into our projects, while uncovering hidden talent that we would never have known existed before."
"We've been early adopters of various softwares, hardwares, and cloud platforms for awhile. But we had never really invested in anything which would digitally self-enable our people, and that was the very concept at the heart of our approach to careers."
"We had to think about more impactful, more up-to-date, more contemporary ways that would encourage our employees to grow their skills and meet our future needs."
"We wanted our employees to be empowered to collaborate and drive their own skills and careers, to prepare them for the world both within and also beyond HSBC, developing confidence, curiosity, and competency."
“The benefit of the talent marketplace has been the fact that opportunities are more democratized. People are able to put their hands up for opportunities that before they just wouldn't have seen.”
