We can help. A strategic approach is necessary to identify core issues and avoid piecemeal solutions. Strategic workforce planning is the alignment of an organization’s people with its business direction. It involves analyzing the current workforce, identifying future workforce needs, establishing the gap between the present and the future, and implementing solutions so that an organization can accomplish its mission, goals and objectives. Strategic Workforce Planning must be founded on the organization’s strategic plan and usually consists of seven components grouped in three sets: the organizational assessment, optimization, and design and implementation:
ASSESSMENT
The Assessment step looks at workforce outflows (from retirements and other departures) that create the need for new employees plus the staffing demands created by growth and other changes.

Skills Inventory
