About this Unit
In an era of globalisation and economic and social change, workforce planning is a strategic tool, both for the management of organisations and human resource strategy, and for broader issues of public policy and economic development. The unit is designed to enable employment relations professionals to plan for building organisational capability. Planning for demographic changes, skill shortages and economic shocks is crucial for managing risk and growing organisations, but makes planning more difficult and complex. The aim is for managers to influence organisations by demonstrating the vital importance of planning in relation to sustainability and to undertake planning using quantitative tools.
