What can we learn from an organisation that has been a skills-based pioneer for over 30 years? 

At EPAM Systems, building a future-ready, skills-based workforce has been a foundational strategy, positioning the company as one of the most mature examples in the field. In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green is joined by Sandra Loughlin, Chief Learning Scientist at EPAM Systems, to discuss the lessons EPAM has learned over its decades-long journey and how organisations can apply these insights to their own skills transformations. Together, they dive into: 

• The structure and strategy behind EPAM’s skills-based evolution, shaped by 30 years of experience in skills management 
• Common myths around skills-based organisations 
• The importance of defining the work itself before pinpointing necessary skills 
• Practical guidance on selecting the right technology to support skills-based practices 
• Approaches to validating skills data, moving beyond self or manager assessments to more reliable data sources 
• Insights on tailoring a skills strategy to different industries and functions, and determining when high-quality skills data is a must
