Planning for the organization’s human capital needs requires an understanding of the supply of human resources on hand and the demand for specific skill-sets over a long-range period.
Today’s current economic climate places even greater challenges on strategic human capital planning. Limited budgets and uncertain market conditions add to the organization's need to effectively predict future requirements in human talent.
If human capital planning is one of the most critical processes for the organization why does it frequently result in a guessing-game that underestimates true staffing needs, creates a stressed workforce and costs the organization profitability?
In this live web seminar you will see how strategic planning, combined with resource modeling principles, can provide you with a clear picture of the Human Capital your organization will need now and in the future. You will learn:
- How the key to human resource planning is in embedded in your corporate strategy
- Why traditional human resource planning is inherently flawed
- About methodologies to provide you with a concrete way to determine your human resource requirements – and thus eliminate the guesswork
- How you can predict which of your key employees (with certain skill-sets) is going to leave your organization, and when they’re going to leave so that you can reduce the gap between the supply and demand in skill sets
