As Canadian HR Reporter wrote earlier this month, hiring tech talent is one of the top people risks named by HR professionals in this country, with the push for top AI employees continuing and seemingly not enough talent to fill the roles.
To find out how to attract and retain the right tech talent, Canadian HR Reporter spoke with two experts who work at the confluence of tech development and human resources management: Dr. Kevin Lee, assistant professor of management and organizational behaviour at UBC’s Sauder School of Business, and Melissa Judd, vice president of research operations and academic partnerships at the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Toronto.
“With artificial intelligence, we’re all on a change management journey, right? You can have fantastic technical skills and drop them into an organization – at the same time, you need to realign the organization to embrace the change that is before them,” Judd says.
