Strategic Workforce Planning
High potentials consistently and significantly outperform their peer groups in a variety of settings and circumstances. While achieving superior levels of performance, they exhibit behaviors that reflect their companies’ culture and values in an exemplary manner.
It’s critical for businesses to understand the distinction between high potential and high performance; confusing the two can be costly. You may have an abundance of high-potential employees working for you. Learn how to identify them, and actualize their potential to create a high-performance workforce.
The Importance of Workforce Planning
With effective workforce planning and management you can create the right recruiting and development strategies to have talent in place for future success. Workforce planning identifies the roles that drive profitability and results and helps you manage the pipeline of talent needed to fill these critical positions.
Workforce planning is driven by your business plan. It includes a summary of each business unit’s major goals and challenges and a forecast of staffing by position. High impact positions are identified along with high performers and high potential employees. The ability to simultaneously and objectively gauge talent on such a broad scope makes the Workforce Plan Assessment (WPA), a valuable resource for talent management.
