Forecast and Plan the Workforce Your Organization Will Need to Succeed in the Future

Skill gaps or shortages. Turnover. An aging workforce. Changing business models. Managing talent risks and expenses. The complexity and urgency of these issues make it feel impossible to plan more than a few months out.

You need a way to develop and implement a workforce plan that is agile and dynamic enough to help your organization thrive in today’s environment—while at the same time establishing yourself as a strategic partner to the business.

HCI’s Strategic Workforce Planning certification takes workforce planning out of the theoretical realm and into reality by giving you a methodology and set of tools to implement right away.
