Workforce Planning

“Workforce planning” is a broad domain to create plans and strategies with the goal to get “the right people in the right jobs at the right time.” Workforce planning can occur on different time horizons (short and long term), different action levels (e.g., tactical and strategic), and needs to be integrated with various stakeholder groups (e.g., finance, IT, HR, and the business). Some workforce planning approaches identify a build/buy/borrow approach to talent, but we determined that a broader look to recruit, retain, reskill, and redesign with systemic people management is more impactful.
