Companies typically have marketing plans, capital plans, expense reduction plans etc., but few devote the time and focus necessary to create a WorkForce or People Plan. Workforce planning is driven by your business plan. It includes a summary of each business unit’s major goals and challenges and a forecast of staffing by position. High impact positions are identified along with high performers, and high potential employees. The ability to simultaneously and objectively gauge talent on such a broad scope makes the Workforce Plan Assessment, (WPA), a valuable resource for talent management.
Goals of the WPA are to:
- Align staffing/leadership needs with business plan/scorecard objectives
- Identify replacement needs (driving recruiting and training needs)
- Identify future leadership needs and potential gaps in development
- Enable your organization to be nimble and react quickly to change
- Create development plans for high potential employees
- Have the right people available and prepared at the right time for the right role when vacancies occur
- Prepare you to deal with sudden & catastrophic loss of key people/players in key positions
We will help your organization go through an objective assessment process to identify high potential talent, and provide you with a overview that visually displays current performance rating, leadership potential and status indicators for successor roles. We are also available to help you identify recruitment strategies to attract top talent and to assist you in creating development plans for your high potential talent.
