Building and Monitoring your Workforce Planning Strategy
Key Takeaways
⇨ Clean and Accurate Data: Relying on HRIS as a single data source can hinder workforce planning due to dirty data.
⇨ Visualizing Data: Local governments must utilize dedicated tools to visualize data effectively, enabling better interpretation and decision-making for workforce planning.
⇨ Three-Step Approach: The three-stage process involves data feed setup, chart views, and workforce planning. Employing this approach ensures real-time, secure, and easy-to-understand workforce data.
Workforce planning is all about alignment of your workforce and business goals so you can meet your ideal operating model.
To do this effectively, you need a solid understanding of your challenges, strengths and workforce characteristics (people, skills and roles to meet your changing needs). The best way to achieve this is through detailed workforce modelling, visualising your organisation, defining your workforce strategy, designing sustainable structures and testing these structures with what-if scenarios.
The last few years have been difficult for local governments as they develop their internal workforce planning capabilities, tools and resources.
