Workforce modelling – how to get started with problem formulation
Our workforce modelling approach has been designed to support our Six Steps Methodology to Integrated Workforce Planning®. Workforce modelling can be developed to define the required workforce (demand), understanding workforce availability (supply) or both.
This useful resource outlines the steps to take for successful workforce modelling, with a focus on how to get started with problem formulation. Other sections include;
- Data collection
- Model development
- Quality assurance
- Scenario planning
- Monitoring and evaluating
The temptation with workforce modelling is to jump to a solution without first defining what is trying to be achieved. Working with key stakeholders to gain a clear understanding of the problem, and to reach an agreement on what should be the focus, is a crucial first step.
