Workforce planning is an organization’s structured, strategic process for aligning its workforce with its business objectives. It involves analyzing and designing the size, structure, and resources of a workforce to meet the needs of the current and upcoming goals of the organization. By taking into account current and future market conditions, labor supply, demographic trends, and other factors affecting a company’s workforce, organizations can optimize their staffing levels and ensure they have the right number and types of employees in the right roles at the right time. Ultimately, workforce planning can reduce costs, address talent gaps, and boost business performance.
