Course overview

Workforce plans must account for current capabilities and future talent requirements. This course examines their place within organisational strategy, including the frameworks, workforce trends and challenges that shape decisions about people. Delegates assess the alignment of competencies, roles and resources with organisational goals, using interactive lessons, practical tools and workplace case studies to develop proactive plans. The discussion links talent management with long-term performance and sustainability.

Evidence informs the forecasts. Workforce analytics, scenario planning and risk analysis help delegates examine demand and supply, while artificial intelligence and other technology provide further ways to understand workforce needs. Targeted recruitment, upskilling and reskilling address gaps alongside succession plans for critical roles. Engagement and retention receive attention before the implementation sessions turn to KPIs, continuous improvement and adapting plans to market or organisational change. A tailored workforce strategy and closing feedback complete the five days.
