Sage-Gavin: HR innovation, from 7 women in 14 days

Eva Sage-Gavin details an inspiring new corporate partnership that has been created in the wake of numerous companies furloughing employees, while essential businesses have an immediate need to hire workers on-demand and in a hurry. This partnership is People + Work Connect, an Accenture-designed employer-to-employer platform, co-created with CHROs from Lincoln Financial Group, ServiceNow, and Verizon. It connects organizations that need more workers with companies that are having to lay off or furlough workers.

Instead of putting their heads into the sand, the CHROs of these companies put their heads and resources together to ensure that the talent pool remains open between companies that are experiencing both slowdowns and upswings in demand. This partnership is an example of corporate social responsibility in action. Moreover, these collaborative endeavors should be at the forefront of all talent acquisition leaders’ agendas right now.
