Getting Started with Workforce Planning
Workforce planning is a core business process to align changing organisation needs with people strategy. As companies try to create more agile organisations with a mix of full-time, part-time, permanent, contractor and freelance talent, the ability to plan effectively, forecast skill gaps, and understand the supply and demand of talent has never been more important.
This introduction to workforce planning will ensure that as an HR professional, you not only understand how to create a strategic workforce plan, but also how you can get buy-in and manage your workforce planning activities. This course provide a solid foundation to the principles behind workforce planning and shows you how to create a strategic workforce plan for your organisation.
How to Design Jobs People Love
How do you design jobs for people in a world that is ever changing and where employees expect so much more from their work and their employer? In this course you will learn about the fundamentals of job design and how you can help your organisation design better work. This course will give you an overview of why jobs are important and how to design a job that people love. You will learn about how job design needs to change to reflect the changing nature of work and organisations and how you can help your organisation design better work.
By the end of this course, you will have learned what makes a job that people really love and the practicalities of job design for the future of work.
Building a Skills Based Approach to Workforce Planning
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. 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™.
Building a Neurodiverse Workforce Strategy
While diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives have made some impressive strides over the years in terms of race, gender, sexuality and more, there is one population that is still conspicuously absent from most DEI strategies: neurodivergent workers. And yet, 15-20% of the population is neurodivergent. Which means you are likely managing and/or working with neurodivergent colleagues, whether you realise it or not.
This training course will help you to understand business benefits that you gain by building a neurodiverse workplace strategy, supporting you to link the skills and strengths available from neurodivergent employees to the capabilities needed for your workforce strategy.
Building an Agile Workforce Planning Process
How do you create an agile workforce planning process that can respond to rapidly changing needs quickly and efficiently? While many private organisations have to tackle this issue, this problem can be particularly relevant in the non-profit or public sector where urgent situations can arise where talent needs to be deployed almost instantly.
In this course, you will learn how to create an agile workforce plan that enables you to react quickly to the changing needs in your business. You will learn how to create various scenario plans that ensure that you understand your talent supply channels and are able to respond to changing workforce demand quickly and efficiently, in line with the operational needs of the business.
Data-Driven Organisation Design and Workforce Planning
What’s the difference between skills, knowledge, behaviours and competencies? And how does this connect to the specific activities carried out in your organisation? Many organisations are struggling to get to grips with these terms and use talent data effectively to inform business decisions.
This training course will help you to understand the ‘work’ not just the workforce, so that by using data and analytics you're able to build a framework to understand the roles, positions, skills, objectives and activities that are available in your organisation today, and that your business needs for the future.
Understanding Macro-Level Organisational Design
Your strategy sets up the direction and scope of your organisation, it allows you to define a plan outlining how your organisation will win in the marketplace. Ensuring you have the right organisational design is crucial to ensuring that you’re able to execute on your business vision and strategy.
This training course will help you to understand whether macro-level org design is the right design process for your organisation and how to build a compelling case for change. Coupled with our course on Data-Driven Organisation Design and Workforce Planning you’ll gain a detailed understanding of the roles, skills, objectives and how work is executed across your organisation as well as how to define the right design criteria and principles to set your organisation up for success.
