Building a Skills Based Approach to Workforce Planning
A practical guide to building a skills based approach to workforce planning leveraging the Insight222® Nine Dimensions for Workforce Planning™
What will I learn in this course?
At its best, workforce planning delivers millions of dollars to the enterprise through predicting where skills and workforce costs will be in the future and how to plan for them in the right locations, while managing existing costs.
In research conducted by Insight222 in the second half of 2020 across almost 50 global organisations, including in-depth studies of twelve Fortune 500 companies, we concluded that there are significant factors that leading companies perform when they “do workforce planning well.” These include:
They link their workforce planning activities directly and completely to the business strategy.
They focus on skills as well as cost and use new sources of external data to explore not just what skills and people they have got, but also what they need to find in the marketplace to succeed.
They measure the value of workforce planning and quantify the results in financial terms.
Conversely, we have seen that when workforce planning is done poorly, it is “hidden away” in HR, with individuals who don’t have strong business stakeholders engaged, use incomplete data and struggle to create impact.
This training course will help you to understand how to build a skills-based approach to workforce planning across your organisation, by providing an in-depth look at each dimension of the Insight222® Nine Dimensions for Workforce Planning™. In this course we’ll explore which strategic business goals are best suited to a skills-based approach, which data and technology solutions are required, and how to ensure that workforce planning delivers value for the business.
This course will cover the following key areas:
Each of the Nine Dimensions for Workforce Planning in great depth
How to build the right foundations within your organisation to successfully adopt a skills based approach to workforce planning
The right resources you’ll need for success, exploring the skills, technology and data requirements
