Plan the workforce your organisation will need to succeed in the future
The list of workforce planning challenges seems endless: Skill gaps and shortages. Turnover. An aging workforce. Changing business models. Managing talent risks and expenses.
The complexity of these issues and the urgency to fix them make it almost impossible to plan for more than a few months out. You need a way to develop and implement a workforce plan that is agile and dynamic enough to help your organisation thrive in today’s environment; and at the same time establish yourself as a strategic partner to the business. HCI’s certification programme takes workforce planning out of the theoretical realm and gives you a methodology and set of tools that you can implement right away — beginning in class.
