What is Workforce Planning?
Workforce planning is the process a specific organization uses to align its workforce with its top business objectives so it can strategically prepare for future staffing demands.
With the talent landscape rapidly changing, it’s essential to create a workforce plan that’s tailored to your organization’s needs in a data-driven and strategic manner. Between the ‘great resignation’ and ongoing demands for purposeful as well as hybrid work, organizations must keep tabs on workforce trends so they can develop forward-thinking strategies for the future post-pandemic world.
When you have a strong workforce plan in place, you’re equipping your business with the necessary means
to stay competitive

“Given that 17 million workers will need to completely change industries over the next decade as automation advances in the workplace, the U.S. needs a mini-“Marshall Plan” for skills, with large-scale, digitally-enabled partnerships…
Every company and organization can play a role in moving away from the old paradigm of four-year degrees and shift towards skills-based recruiting and more modular and targeted training and educational programs.”
