Episode Synopsis

A whole new generation is entering the workforce at a time when work is changing for everyone. Getting the right talent is hard enough, but there are also considerable challenges in retaining talent and providing the right skills development to deal with the current speed of change in business and technology.

So, how can employers take a holistic approach to talent acquisition, talent management, and L&D that resonates with a Gen Z audience and engages the wider workforce?

My guest this week is Dilek Çilingir, Global Assurance Talent Leader at EY. EY has intensely focused on changing outdated perceptions around auditing as a career to bring new talent into the business. This is part of an overarching talent strategy that also focuses on upskilling and retention.

In the interview, we discuss:

The talent market challenges facing the audit profession

An increasingly complex work environment

Busting stereotypes and marketing auditing as an attractive career

Flexibility and Well-Being

How attitudes to work are changing

Job hopping versus role hopping

The importance of ongoing skills development

On-demand tech-driven learning

How AI is changing things

What will the future look like from a talent perspective?
