Welcome

Welcome to the Workforce Planning website. The purpose of the website is to provide agencies with guidance and a forum to share information on workforce planning.

Planning for human resources needs is one of the greatest challenges facing an organization. In order to meet this challenge, a process that provides a structured approach for matching human resources with the anticipated needs of the organization is essential.

"Workforce planning is the strategic alignment of an organization's human capital with its business direction.  It is a methodical process of analyzing the current workforce, identifying future workforce needs, establishing the gap between the present and future, and implementing solutions so the organization can accomplish its mission, goals, and objectives."
