What is Workforce Planning and Workforce Development?

Workforce planning relates to analysing workforce profile data and trends; forecasting demand; and undertaking a gap analysis to determine net supply.  The concept is future orientated with ‘gaps’ prioritised and workforce development strategies designed and implemented.

Workforce development involves:

·         identifying, quantifying and diagnosing the capabilities of the current workforce and the capabilities required of the future workforce;

·         analysing the gaps between current and future capabilities;

·         implementing strategies to address the gaps.
