The Global Skills Technology and Adoption Survey Report
Mercer’s Global Skills Technology and Adoption Survey, an exclusive survey for users of skills technologies and platforms, offers insights into how companies leverage digital technologies in their journey to becoming skills-powered organizations.
For many, the journey is well underway. Sixty-eight percent of surveyed HR leaders track and manage skills across their organization. For 65%, an internal talent marketplace is already baked in (or planned).
As skills become increasingly embedded across a range of HR use cases, greater automation brings an opportunity to reduce manual intervention and enable skills mapping at scale.

As part of their plans, businesses must be clear on their success measures and the underlying vision behind their talent marketplace.
