We work with you to develop strategic workforce plans to ensure every $ invested provides tangible value
Workforce planning identifies current and impending critical talent issues and proposes short and long-term solutions. At its most effective, strategic workforce planning integrates internal data (about your organisation) and external data (about broader demographic and economic trends) into a coherent strategy that balances supply and demand.
At Consulting Folk, we ensure workforce planning and overall business planning are seamless, because this is crucial to your success.
We bring deep insights into all talent segments and can help you to:
-
Understand what the business strategy really requires: We quantify the roles and talent requirements needed to meet your business objectives, thus allowing improved business planning and financial forecasts. We can also establish metrics that help inform leadership about key workforce issues.
-
Invest with confidence: We can help you understand the dynamics of different talent segments e.g. determine which deliver high ROI and which need greater investment. This helps enable value-savvy decisions across the pool.
-
Improve organisational alignment: We can help you to position HR policies, programmes and structures to support overall business goals and objectives. In particular, we ensure that the organisation supports the business, not vice-versa!
-
Decrease your hiring costs: Our workforce planning can help reduce your hiring costs by providing the information that HR leaders need to reduce attrition in key segments where hiring new workers is especially costly. We can help assess operational needs, costs and investments based on fluctuating workforce trends (e.g. procurement practices, real estate, mobile technology).
