What is Strategic Workforce Planning?
• Strategic workforce planning (SWP) is the analytic, forecasting, and planning process that connects and directs talent management activities to ensure an organization has the right people in the right places at the right time and at the right price to execute its business strategy
• Strategic workforce planning (SWP) is a critical business initiative and not a human resources activity
Strategic (or long-range) planning = long-range planning for the business
Strategic workforce planning = long-range planning for talent

Two Types of Workforce Planning
• Operational workforce planning – focuses on skills and capabilities needed within the next 6 to 18 months.
• Strategic workforce planning – looks 3 – 5 years in the future and anticipates new skills, roles and situations that might not exist today. Deals with variables that cannot be predicted but can be prepared for.
The Business Case for Strategic Workforce Planning
Each year, The Conference Board conducts a survey of CEOs, presidents, and chairmen from more than 1,000 companies around the world. The executives are asked to identify and rank the most pressing challenges they face. For the second year in a row, Human Capital — how best to develop, engage, manage, and retain talent — was named the leading challenge among ten choices.
The Business Case for Strategic Workforce Planning
The strategies these CEOs plan to implement to address their concerns include:
– Provide employee training and development.– Raise employee engagement.– Improve performance management processes and accountability.– Increase efforts to retain critical talent.– Improve leadership development programs.– Focus on internally developed talent to fill key roles.– Enhance effectiveness of the senior management team.– Improve effectiveness of front-line supervisors and managers.– Improve corporate brand and employee value propositions to attract
talent.– Improve succession planning for current and future need
The Business Case for Strategic Workforce Planning
• A 2014 survey conducted by pwc states “As US companies return to growth mode, anxiety over skills needs intensifies: 70% of US business leaders are concerned about the availability of key skills, a sharp increase over 54% that said so in 2013. Demand for highly valued skills is strong; the “war for talent” is as fierce as ever. Thus addressing the skills shortage is about much more than hiring fresh talent. It means taking a fresh look at the talent within. Businesses that have been able to build up intellectual capital by continuously cultivating the next generation can experience a distinct advantage”.
The Business Case for Strategic Workforce Planning
• Aging workforce and approaching retirement wave– By 2020, 25% of the labor force will be age 55+, up from 12% in 1990.– In 2014, the annual growth rate of the overall labor force will shift
• 55-and-older = 4.1 % (4 times the rate of growth of the overall labor force)• 25-to-54-year = 0.3 percent• 16-to-24-year-olds - essentially flat
• Projected labor shortages– By 2018, with no change in current labor force participation rate or
immigration rates and an expected return to healthy economic growth, we will have more jobs than people to fill them.• Anywhere from 5.0 million to 5.7 million potential jobs vacant
– If the full employment gap is not filled, using Congressional Budget Office data, estimate the loss in total output as high as $3 trillion across a 5-year period beginning in 2018
The Business Case for Strategic Workforce Planning
Projected Leadership Shortage
In numerous surveys, senior executives are expressing concerns that stiffening competition for exceptional individuals is curtailing plans for progress. – The Corporate Executive Board reports that 60% of organizations
feel constrained by the leadership shortage– The Bersin Deloitte Advisory Board cites the need to develop
organizational leadership capacity as one of the three biggest business challenges companies face today.
– Bloomberg also rated leadership development among the top issues confronting HR professionals
– Industry Week Magazine called the lack of potential leaders the most pressing human capital problem of our time

Align to Business Strategy
• Analyze the long-range plan to identify impact to talent – What new core competencies emerge? – What organizational structure will best meet your
future needs?– What systems and tools will be needed?– What are the cultural implications?– How will staffing needs change?
Align to Business Strategy
Strategic Imperative: Implement business intelligence tools that drive performance to ensure long-term stability – Do you have the right technology people to
identify, implement, maximize and continually evolve the use of these tools?
– What impact will this have on the need for skills or competencies for users of this new data?– (how to analyze, systemic thinking, flexibility, change readiness)
Align to Business Strategy
Strategic Imperative: Become an employer of choice
Criteria for top 100 workplaces is based on trust and culture
• How will this impact what you look for in leaders? • How will you shift the mindset of current leadership?• What training is needed? • How does this impact your succession planning criteria for
promotable potential? • How will you measure and evaluate this?

External Economic and
regulatory
1. What regulatory changes are anticipated between now and 2018? Do we have the right skills and competencies to respond?
2. How will the economic forecast impact our staffing needs in terms of skills, numbers and timing (e.g. improving housing market = > need for mortgage lenders, increase in capital spending = > commercial lending)
3. What are the impacts to talent from the “disrupters” in technology?
