HRO Today: What are the keys to DXC’s talent strategy?

http://www.hrotoday.com/workforce-management/the-unincorporated-workforce/

Jo Ma: For me, whatever I approach in workforce management or HR is based on business strategy. And an element that is critical to this is understanding the talent we already have and the talent we need.

DXC’s mission is to design and deploy new digital solutions—at scale—that integrate with a client’s mainstream IT to produce better business outcomes. So we need to manage our talent in two ways: internally through reskilling and externally by ensuring we have the right processes in place to acquire the right talent and skills. Our employees are motivated by the fact that they are able to work on innovative projects and can develop and grow within the organization.

The digital landscape creates challenges; competing organizations are fighting for the same skills. As we look at our digital offerings, we are asking ourselves:

What skills do we have internally?
What skills do we need to acquire?
What reskilling needs to take place?

"For example, we are able to reskill through our university partnerships."

This type of policy has nothing to do with reskilling the workforce. International companies have stood at colleges and universities for years in the hopes to attract cheap, unexperienced talent.

"It’s also critical that we have good analytics."

Wrong. Heavy analytics use has caused this company to consectuvely plunge in share price, revenue, employee morale, and brain drain for years. There was little to no decision making on merit, quality, or investment in the business as a whole, which is usually what seasoned professionals are able to do as they have the right experience to turn the tables around.

"We encourage our employees to thrive on change and invest in themselves."

By putting massive hurdles in front of them when they do want to do a course, or training, that benefits the 'digital transformation' (see: approved by DXC executives). Nice going.

"It’s important when you bring organizations together that there’s a robust culture and an environment of performance and opportunity at all levels."

Actually, DXC has done quite the contrary by causing fear and drop in morale by firing constantly; leaving the people behind, who are not yet fired, with a sense of insecurity and worry. This, in turn, causes employees to leave on their own, or willing to throw people under the bus (management?) to save their own jobs.

"DXC is very agile and open, and we embrace authentic communication—real, open, honest communication."

No, it does not. I witnessed more than a few times where managers bullied their subordinates. Didn't you have a falling out with the previous executive who called your HR 'chaotic', madam?

"Diversity and inclusion (D&I). I love the diversity of our workforce."

Perhaps, because then you can receive praise from the media, and subsidies from local governments for employing 'diverse' people. It's actually an insult to those you consider 'diverse', which is the next point:

"We have efforts to work and support people with disabilities, veterans, the LGBTQ community, and female leaders in technology."

This is a very noble goal indeed. But this is not your real intention. Your intention is to score sympathy points while robbing these people of their moral agency and independency (implying they need help from you even if they don't want it). This is disgusting especially since I've met plenty of 'diverse' people whom are smart and skilled and did it all on their own, because they had the drive to do so. But hey, it looks good in spread sheets and analytics during your next board meeting, right? Damn.
