General Session
Ask any business leader today, and they’ll tell you that a top risk for their business is not having the talent and capabilities they need when they need them. HR has a unique opportunity to solve this significant business risk, but it’s often difficult to know where to begin. Strategic workforce planning has been referred to as “strat planning for people.” It’s an iterative business process that guides a leadership team through the identification and development of the organization’s talent plans to address people risks such as skill gaps or imbalance, increasing turnover, an aging workforce, or changing regulations and new business models. The workforce planning process begins with alignment to the business strategy and HR plays a critical role in driving and facilitating this process. Whether you are certified in Strategic Workforce Planning or have never heard of it, this session will give you the business case for the implementing it in your business as well as practical tips to refresh or start the process.
