Set your strategic workforce planning program up for success with the engagement of stakeholders and the cooperation of staff across functional areas.
To set your strategic workforce planning program up for success, you need the right people to plan and implement it, the right people to engage as the program stakeholders and a communication plan to gain the full support of the business.
Your strategic workforce planning program team
Your strategic workforce planning program team should be a good mix of people across business functions who have expertise in strategic planning, budget and financial management, human resources, and management analysis. The program lead must have strong collaboration, governance and communication skills to ensure the key stakeholders in the business are engaged and supportive.
The communication plan
The objectives, actions and timeframes of the program must be widely and regularly communicated across your organisation. People are diverse, so the ways you connect and communicate should be diverse too.
- Put in place effective communication channels that are a good fit with your company culture.
- Develop a communications plan to keep stakeholders informed.
- Set up steering committees and programme control group meetings to facilitate the flow of communication.
