Turbocharging HR: Building the foundations for a skills-based organization

Ruchi Arora, Charlotte Wheeler and Laura Dangerfield explore why job architecture, job leveling, and skills are the critical foundations every organization needs before it can truly transform and how AI is compressing job evaluation from hours of work to under a minute.

In this video from our Turbocharging HR series Ruchi Arora, Charlotte Wheeler, and Laura Dangerfield explore why job architecture, job leveling, and skills are the foundations every organization needs before it can truly transform.

Job architecture and job leveling may feel technical, but their impact is felt across the business from who gets hired, to how people progress, to whether skills can form part of the jobs strategy. The conversation covers how AI is dramatically accelerating job evaluation, what good job architecture and leveling looks like in 2026, and how to communicate these changes so your employee experience gains real benefit.

Key discussions include:

  • Why a strong job architecture and leveling are the foundations of everything
  • Where AI is accelerating what used to be manual and time consuming work
  • The best practices for organizations who are looking to implement skills
  • How communicating the change well brings employees along on the journey

As organizations move into future transformations it has become essential for the foundations to be revisited. Ensuring they are strong enough to deal with the change to come and maintaining and environment where the employee experience thrives.
