Description
In today’s dynamic and indeed volatile economies, the workforce is arguably the most important tangible asset of most organizations. Despite its importance, this asset is often not carefully planned, measured or optimized. The result is that many organizations are not sufficiently aware of the current or future workforce gaps that will limit the execution of business strategy.
Workforce planning provides managers with a strategic basis for making resource decisions. Workforce planning allows managers to anticipate change rather than being surprised by events, as well as providing strategic methods for addressing present and anticipated workforce issues.
In this course, you will learn about the role of workforce planning in supporting and enabling strategy execution, and the theory and considerations underpinning contemporary planning practice. You will learn how to conduct supply and demand forecasting, and techniques to apply in improving employee retention and developing talent.
