This PPT slide, part of the 27-slide Business Unit-driven Organizational Workforce Planning PowerPoint presentation, outlines the first phase of a Business Unit-driven Workforce Planning process, focusing on the preparation for strategic workforce planning. It emphasizes the critical activities that HR leaders must undertake to set a solid foundation for workforce strategies.
Key activities include identifying essential components of a workforce plan, pinpointing stakeholders and their roles, and determining which business units (BUs) are crucial for partnership and investment. The overview stresses the importance of gathering and analyzing data to understand the current workforce and future business needs. This involves conducting assessments to identify existing strengths and weaknesses, as well as forecasting future workforce requirements based on business projections.
The details section elaborates on the necessity of aligning strategic objectives with organizational goals. It highlights the need for a comprehensive analysis of both internal workforce capabilities and external market conditions. An example provided is the American Red Cross, which utilizes a prioritization framework to manage its workforce effectively. This framework helps in identifying critical BUs that require focused talent planning discussions, while allowing a more streamlined approach for other units.
The slide serves as a guide for organizations facing resource limitations, suggesting that adopting a structured prioritization approach can help in identifying and investing in key business units. This preparation phase is essential for developing effective workforce strategies that align with long-term organizational needs.
