About this Course
With the shift in HR in most companies, from the traditional to strategic approach, good planning becomes extremely critical to link employee satisfaction and performance to organizational objectives. Planning skills are also critical from a budgeting point of view, when HR has to take care of costs of recruitment, salary, benefits, etc. This course addresses the main focus areas responsible for successful planning, such as HR capacity planning (e.g. mapping current skill to required skill), forecasting (e.g. estimating demand and supply, job and skill requirement, current economy and future impact), gap analysis (e.g. making sure the company has the right people with the right skill at the right time) and strategy development (e.g. understanding the needs of the company, making plans to prepare for change, etc.).
