At IBM, the holistic approach extends beyond company walls to deepening the talent well from which it can draw. For example, its SkillsBuild free education programme focuses on communities that have traditionally been under-represented in the tech sector.
IBM的全面方法不仅限于公司内部，还致力于积极拓展人才来源。例如，它的SkillsBuild免费教育计划专注于传统上在科技行业中被低估的社区。
And in 2016, IBM began removing the four-year degree requirement from many of its job postings.

2016年，IBM开始从许多职位中删除四年制学位的要求。“我们尝试了一下，雇佣了没有四年制学位的人，结果他们很成功，”Nixon-Saintil说道。“所以现在我们优先考虑紧缺技能而不是特定的学位，我们可以得到更多申请人和人才来填补这些职位。”

But he sees that task as critical. "There are broad irreversible trends in society," he says. "For me, the writing is on the wall as to how we're going to have to manage a globally connected society."
但他认为这项任务至关重要。“社会上存在着不可逆转的广泛趋势，”他说。“对于我来说，墙上的字就已经明确指出了我们将如何管理一个全球互联的社会。”
