Synopsis

Workforce planning is an integral part of organizational performance and success. It provides management with a way to align the workforce with its business strategies and address current and future staffing requirements. Good planning creates direction and a foundation for allocating resources. While workforce planning is chiefly a responsibility of management, several business units within the organisation contribute towards the overall plan, including human resources.
