Workforce Planning and Management

Organizations often struggle to ensure they have the right people with the right skills to meet their strategic workforce planning needs. This leads to talent shortages in key areas, employees in roles unsuited to their strengths, and gaps between staff capabilities and organizational objectives.

The consequences for poor workforce planning are wasted investments in developing the wrong talent, plummeting productivity from skill mismatches, and inability to execute on business goals. Without the right people in the right roles, performance suffers and organizations cannot reach their full potential.

This course offers a solution for optimized workforce planning. By exploring workforce analytics, predictive hiring, and skills gap audits, leaders can accurately forecast talent needs. The result is a workforce with the exact blend of skills to match organizational demands - one that evolves in cadence with strategic objectives.
