Overview of the webinar

Few businesses engage in comprehensive workforce planning, which is described as the process of analyzing and matching the proper number and quality of people to have the desired impact on consumers and the market. Conventional workforce planning was founded on economic theory, which states that demand for goods and services leads to a need for people to meet production or service delivery requirements. When the supply of present workers is compared to the demand for production or services, hiring (where the headcount is insufficient to fulfill expected production or service levels) or downsizing occurs (when the headcount is too great for existing product or service demand).

Why should you attend?

However, in recent years, firms have shifted away from traditional staffing techniques that presume all (or perhaps most) employees would work full-time. To satisfy demand, they have been experimenting with different staffing techniques such as retirees, part-time workers, teleworkers, project-based consultants, obligatory overtime, and many others. Complicating matters is the realization that not all employees are equally productive. According to study, certain people may be up to 20 times more productive than the average worker in the same job category. At the same time, there is a growing interest in work planning, which is described as the process of examining potential strategies to attain work results. One technique to job planning is process improvement, which studies workflow, although there are many others. Of course, how work is done influences the number and quality of personnel required.
