BUSINESS CHALLENGE
The University of California (UC), the second-largest employer in California, is highly decentralized. Each of its 18 independent locations is supported by Systemwide Talent Management (STM). STM designs strategies and programs to hire, develop, and retain the best people in their respective fields. Approximately 35 percent of UC’s 200,000+ staff will retire in five years. This departure of leadership presents considerable challenges as STM develops succession strategies across UC. Further, as a public institution, UC must verify compliance with several thousand training programs offered via their learning management system.
