Workforce planning

Workforce planning is a process to ensure that we have the right number of people with the right skills employed in the right place at the right time to deliver our short- and long-term objectives. Workforce planning is not just about the make-up of our workforce, it embraces a diverse and extensive range of activities. They include:

• succession planning
• flexible working
• labour demand and supply forecasting
• recruitment and retention planning
• skills audit gap analysis
• talent management
• multi-skilling
• job design
• risk management
• scenario planning

When combined, all of the above activities allow us to deliver our Workforce Strategy.
