What is a Workforce Planning Strategy?

Strategic workforce planning will identify organisational goals and ensure your team is upskilled to reach these goals.

With an ageing workforce and shortages of technical and engineering-related skills in the labour market, forecasting future demand and supply of talent is one of the most critical strategic challenges facing organisations within the energy and utilities sector today. A longer-term, strategic workforce planning consulting approach to talent management is required, to make effective and efficient use of all available talent pools.
