How the learning unfolds
Built on more than 20 years of practical experience our course gives you the tools, techniques and confidence to improve your abilities. With actionable learnings, that can be immediately applied, our course covers foundations, the framework and the future and is comprised of two key parts:
* pre-work maturity assessment
* the training day...
The training day is based on several micro-sessions, most including an activity, to clarify and reinforce learning and considers how to sharpen your workforce in line with organisational strategy, operational demands and the need to stay agile. Micro-sessions will cover:
The 4 fundamentals of SWP
how to ensure they are in place or leverage value with what you have, for example, imperfect data
The 5 Steps of SWP
from organisational strategy to workforce implications to operationalising the plan: analysing current and future workforce, identifying and describing the gap, creating strategic workforce strategy and plans and executing successful implementation
Roles and Accountabilities and the SWP team
How to navigate challenges and build support with the right governance
An SWP assessment of your organisation’s level of maturity forms the pre-work to the training course. Completed one week before the training day it provides a baseline for change, guiding your next steps, as you embed Strategic Workforce Planning as an Organisational Capability in your organisation.
Who this is for
This is for you if your responsibilities (or interest or involvement) includes people, planning, strategy, risk, cost control and finance and is just as relevant for those embarking on Strategic Workforce Planning as for those looking to develop their capabilities...
Whilst analysts, HR, talent, recruitment and OD professionals find it valuable so too do business managers and business unit leaders who are looking to better understand and leverage one of the key levers available to them in delivering their current targets and future change.
