Workforce Planning
Areas: Human Resources
Description:The basic definition of workforce planning is: having the right people across the organization, in the right place, at the right time. Components of workforce planning include:
Linking human resources planning with strategic planning - assuring that human resources are aligned with the agency/division's strategic goals and priorities
How agency/division functions will change over time
How changes in functions will affect job requirements
How the workforce is changing in terms of demographics, skills, interests, and performance
How well the current workforce is prepared for future job requirements and identifying potential gaps
How to develop strategies, including recruitment, retention, training, etc., to address staffing needs, based on the gaps
