Benchmarking "The Value of Workforce Planning"

Infohrm, global specialists in on-demand workforce planning, reporting, and human capital analytics recently announced the launch of its 2008 global workforce planning survey titled "The Value of Workforce Planning". The 2008 survey builds upon the findings from last year’s Global Workforce Planning Survey, in which 14% of organizations anticipate and are prepared for the impending loss of skills, corporate knowledge, and leadership that will occur over the next five years. According to the firm, the survey asks participants to evaluate their success rate in linking workforce planning to strategic and financial planning processes. Organizations will be able to benchmark their current workforce planning practices and identify opportunities for improvement, with a specific focus on building the business case for investments in workforce planning. “The results of the 2007 Global Workforce Planning Survey brought to light a number of assumptions we held about the roadblocks to successful workforce planning, such as little to no evidence of financial impact and poor integration of the workforce planning process with financial and strategic plans,” states Infohrm CEO, Peter Howes. “We are eagerly anticipating the 2008 results to clarify how progressive organizations establish a strong foundation for workforce planning.” The survey is accessible online and is open for response until Friday, April 4, 2008. Participants will be provided with a complimentary copy of the findings in a published report says Infohrm.
