Syllabus
This unit will examine the theoretical frameworks and rationale behind workforce planning, then individually study the different elements that contribute to the process and implementation of an effective plan. The roles of staff selection and engagement, turnover, succession planning, assessment and strategic management initiatives will all be covered in detail, and a number of cases will be presented for analysis during the semester. Both the positive and negative aspects of workforce planning will be discussed and debated, and the contribution of an effective plan (economic, financial, ethical, industrial and strategic) debated. The place of workforce planning in the over-all Human Resource and organisational framework will be analysed and its contribution to work-life balance assessed.
