Strategic Workforce Planning

A longer-term, strategic approach to talent attraction, retention and redeployment is required in order to maximise the potential of all available talent pools and ensure a resilient and sustainable skilled workforce.

Strategic Workforce Planning

What Is Workforce Planning?

With an ageing workforce and shortages of technical and engineering-related skills in the labour market, forecasting future demand and supply of talent is one of the most critical strategic challenges facing organisations within the energy and utilities sector today. A longer-term, strategic approach to talent management is required, to make effective and efficient use of all available talent pools.
