The Talent Profile is the starting point. The moment an employee uploads a CV or LinkedIn profile, or submits information about their experience and skills to the por- tal, Artificial Intelligence (AI) can source and recommend the most suitable open roles. Comparison of the employee’s capabilities and the listed job requirements will return a ‘fit score’ – a rank which will automatically tell the employee whether that role is a good match for them. Based on their preferences and interests, employees can also set up job alerts and be notified as soon as additional relevant postings are published. The system will evolve and learn with users – once an em- ployee bookmarks a certain role or starts an application process, the portal will highlight similar open positions in the future to ensure career opportunities are not missed. The new Internal Career Site not only enables smart application, it also hosts Global Employee Groups – ABB-wide communities of people who share the same interests, passions or beliefs. Encouraging employees to make the most of the Open Job Market The ABB Way gives all of us the power to take actions and decisions about our next steps in the company. While employees are responsible for driving their own careers, it’s still your role as a manager to under- stand your team members’ aspirations and plans and to help them unlock their potential. It may mean supporting a swift move, providing developmental feedback, or redistributing tasks in the team. Set- ting goals and making plans for 2021 as part of the Performance and Development Appraisal (PDA) is a great opportunity to initiate such career conversations and sup- port your employees’ individual choices.
