Move your career – and your business – forward with the most sought after skill in talent management today.
An Agile Framework
Is strategic workforce planning a strength in your organisation? If not, you’re not alone. Only 13% of organisations report they are good at predicting future skills. In fact, two-thirds of US employers have no planning for their talent needs.
In an economy driven by innovation, disruption and constant change, strategic workforce planning is a crucial competency for HR professionals seeking to align workforce strategy with overarching business goals.
Move the Needle
By arming yourself with the most sought-after talent management competency, you’ll be able to demonstrate the value of HR as a strategic partner to the business. This course will arm you with a keen understanding of workforce planning methodology, bolstered by in-depth case studies from organisations like GE, Google and Procter & Gamble. You’ll gain the consultative and change management skills necessary for developing an action plan to make effective strategic workforce planning a reality in your organisation.
