The Emergence of SWP
Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP) heralds a new dawn in HR and people management practices. It has emerged as a key theme for a whole host of reasons including:
- A shortage of skills/talent
- Digital transformation and its impact on the workforce
- Shifts in organisational design from hierarchy to matrix structures and associated roles
- Preparation for unexpected risks (e.g., COVID) and business continuity
- The emergence of hybrid working models
- Organisational agility and customer-centricity are now being hailed as the new order
- An increased emphasis on HR analytics, and the making of evidenced-based decisions.
