Empowering career growth amidst global challenges 

Finding
the
right
recipe
for
career
growth
can
challenge
global
clients.
At
Conagra,
a
leading
food
manufacturer,
prioritizing
employee
growth
and
career
mobility
became
paramount,
especially
amidst
the
recent
pandemic.
 

The
company
recognized
the
need
for
a
strong
skills
foundation,
empowering
its
workforce
to
develop
talents
and
explore
new
career
opportunities
within
the
organization. With
support
from
IBM,
Conagra
successfully
implemented
a
competency-based
approach,
laying
the
foundation
for
employees
to
steer
their
career
trajectories,
discover
meaningful
work
and
seize
growth
opportunities.
 

Today,
IBM
Watson®
Talent
Frameworks
classify
700
Conagra
jobs,
with
new
job
profiles
covering
over
4,500
employees.
These
efforts
help
to
ensure
that
all
Conagra’s
employees
can
pursue
impactful
career
advancement.  

Conagra’s
enhanced
workplace
skills
initiative 

Conagra
felt
ill-equipped
to
navigate
the
new
workplace
reality
in
a
post-pandemic
world.
They
aimed
to
provide
a
transparent
skills
framework
for
employees
in
various
departments
to
assess
their
abilities,
receive
personalized
development
plans
and
explore
potential
career
paths.
Employee
expectations
and
values
are
constantly
changing,
and
they
have
shifted
significantly.
Conagra
needed
a
flexible
and
scalable
solution
for
all
their
job
roles,
both
present
and
future. 

Illuminating
new
possibilities
with
IBM
Watson
Talent
Frameworks

Conagra
partnered
with
IBM
to
co-create
a
foundational
skills
taxonomy
across
700
job
roles
by
using
IBM
Watson
Talent
Frameworks,
which
features
a
robust
library
of
skills
and
competencies.
Conagra’s
human
resources
(HR)
business
partners
played
an
essential
role
in
validation
sessions,
helping
to
ensure
the
alignment
of
the
new
competency
profiles
with
the
company’s
strategy
and
employees’
needs.
 

IBM
Watson
Talent
Frameworks,
combined
with
the
Lexonis
Essentials
tool,
become
the
backbone
of
the
client’s
new
model.
The
project’s
success
largely
resulted
from
the
strong
collaboration
between
Conagra
and
the
IBM
team,

both
parties
actively
engaged

stage
of
the
process.
