The strategic workforce planning allows organizations to allocate the resources as the productivity improvements are achieved. The strategic workforce planning requires a change of the managerial mindset as workforces can move among departments. The strategic workforce planning is closely linked with the business strategy and supports the delivery of the key goals of the organization.

2. Workforce Definition
Workforce:
– Total pool of employees or labor available in the organization
– Many organizations do use the word “headcount” for measuring the
number of employees in the organization
– Workforce always creates costs for the organization; it has to pay its
employees for the job delivered
– Workforce is a scarce resource and HR has to run the regular process
for the right allocation of employees to processes/departments

pool of employees

Finance Department, line managers and the top management
– Restructuring of requirements with the aim to strengthen the strategic
agenda of the organization

workforce gets appropriately adjusted
