HR professionals understand the importance of optimizing the workforce. We know it requires a lot of skill and effort to successfully recruit and retain top-level talent and that businesses rely on having the people they need in place to meet customer demand.
But how many of us take a strategic view? Do we:
- Map out our current organization and assess existing skills, both utilized and unutilized?
- Take the time to proactively plan out workforce needs months or years into the future?
- Assess the future needs of the business and compare our existing workforce with those needs and assess what changes are necessary so we can plan accordingly?
