Multinational publishing company Wiley set out to push back on its industry's reputation of neglecting people and workplace initiatives. For Wiley, the opportunity to transform to a more people and culture-focused workforce was big.
Recognizing their role in this industry, they asked themselves: How might we include People Workforce, and Development in publishing?
Wiley partnered with Mathison to go all in towards a more culture-driven approach, starting with how they read and write.
The team kicked off with the Opportunity Index to gain a comprehensive assessment of their gaps in People, Workforce, and Development and to understand where and how to take action. Today the company has three pilot teams incorporating Mathison’s people and workforce education and using the Mathison Sidekick for anonymized sourcing and culture-based language.
The goal for Natalia and her team is to become more culture-driven across all of hiring, using Mathison’s technology to build a new process to inform how they find, screen, interview, and hire candidates. As a quarterly measure, Pedroza uses the Opportunity Index to gauge where they’ve been and where they need to keep pushing. Wiley’s vision is company-wide adoption of Mathison.
“It’s about changing behaviors within the workforce,” Natalia says, “and then it becomes a workforce for everybody.”
[Mathison’s Sidekick] is a piece of technology that can give somebody a quick language overview, and language is so important to make people feel like they belong in interviews.
