Workforce Planning
About Workforce Planning workshop
Workforce Planning is an inherent part of Strategic Planning for all organisations and is becoming increasingly important in an era of greater reliance on knowledge workers and profound demographic change. This workshop provides a necessary introduction to workforce planning that puts the focus squarely on the people in the planning process –it’s not only about the right skills, but the right people and the right motivation.
Who would benefit?
This workshop is an essential step for the Strategic Planning Team, Executive, Strategic HR group or planning committee that is charged with the development of a Workforce Plan – either initiating the planning process, or reviewing an existing Workforce Plan. This workshop would be particularly useful combined with the workshop on Strategic Climate Planning.
Objectives
At the end of the workshop, the participating group will have considered what should be the main emphasis for the workforce plan at this time – is the need for workforce management, as well as future requirements, or are current workforce management strategies in place and it is time to focus on the future shape of the workforce in alignment with the Strategic Plan. They will also have assessed the organisation’s current reward and performance management processes. The group will have identified the data requirements and information needed to begin the workforce planning process and assessed stake-holder interests. These would include consumers/customers/clients and ensure that the Workforce Plan addresses supply issues in response to demand requirements. Essentially, the group will develop an action plan for the workforce planning process they have identified that will guide the establishment of a workforce planning initiative within your organisation.
