Bottling insight: How Coca-Cola HBC is refreshing talent strategy using labour market data
Y ears before joining Coca-Cola HBC, Sam Fletcher worked at a search firm where his colleagues help the beverage giant roadmap its early vision for talent intelligence. He found the concept incredibly fascinating, and, six years later, is now the company’ s Head of Research and Talent Intelligence, bringing that very roadmap to life.
In this exclusive interview, Sam breaks down why talent intelligence has become a mission-critical function, how data elevates HR from reactive to advisory, and how leaders can leverage external market insights to gain a proactive competitive edge.
How do you personally define talent intelligence, and why is it a mission-critical function? For me, talent intelligence is the ability to bring talent-related data to support business decisions. That makes it sound much simpler than it really is, but it’ s just the starting point. Realistically, talent intelligence is gathering, analysing and translating external labour market data, overlaying macroeconomic data where needed, combining it with internal talent-related and wider business data and context.
