GlobalHRD Strategic Workforce Planning Services ensure that the appropriate policies and workforce mix is available to accomplish the organization’s plan goals and objectives. This service undertakes reviews of the current organization capacity and develop strategic workforce policies and plans, including implementation and evaluation components, which support the organization in making well-informed, efficient, and cost-effective decisions about future staffing requirement and organizational structures over the next 10 – 20 years for its current employees, managers, and business units. The decisions to be taken will depend on external factors (e.g., skill availability) as well as internal factors (e.g., age of current workforce). These factors determine whether the organization’s future skills requirement will be met by recruiting, training, or by outsourcing.

Strategic workforce planning involves working through four issues:
1. The composition and content of the policies and workforce that will be required to strategically position the organization to deal with its possible futures and business objectives.
2. The gaps that exist between the future "model" organization(s) and the existing organization, including any special skills required by possible futures.
3. The recruiting and training plans for permanent and contingent staff that must be put in place to deal with those gaps.
4. The determination of the outside sources that will be able to meet the skill needs for functions or processes that are to be outsourced.

To be successful, GlobalHRD Strategic Workforce Planning Services preform thorough workforce planning assessments so that organizations’ staffing needs can be measured, training and development goals can be established, and contingent workforce options can be used to create an optimally staffed and trained workforce able to respond to the needs of the business.
