Unfortunately, several factors complicate achieving this alignment. They include the accelerated pace of technology, evolving skill demands, competitive talent markets and the difficulty of predicting long-term organizational needs.

At Navy Federal Credit Union (NFCU), we've proactively embraced this challenge by incorporating technology to support three key areas. With the right tools and processes, we've made strides in elevating the candidate experience, integrating innovative AI-driven technologies and strategically upskilling our talent to ensure readiness for the future of work.

Addressing these, we introduced automated communication updates and personalized candidate feedback via AI-powered analytics.
