Best of November - Talent Edge Weekly - Issue #149

Covers 12 of the most popular articles from November. Topics range from talent questions for the CHRO, skills-based organizations, and 2023 workforce trends.

As we begin the month of December, I wanted to share this "Best of November" issue of the Talent Edge Weekly newsletter, which includes 12 of the most popular resources from November.

This "best of the month" format is slightly different than the regular weekly issue in that the "best of" version provides a short description (instead of my full summary and perspective) of each resource.

You can access my full summary and the source article/resource by clicking the hyperlinks.

If you find value in this issue or any of its resources, please share them with your network by using the social media icons or ‘share’ feature in the newsletter.

Have a great week, and I look forward to sharing more ideas with you throughout December!
