The ongoing economic downturn is prompting employers to scrutinize business-as-usual paradigms, and while research indicates an uptick in interest in workforce planning, many organizations are still grappling with how to best prepare for the future while managing the current crisis. In fact, i4cp research found that only 26% of firms surveyed reported that they had a formal plan for their future hiring needs.
Dealing with the current crisis is at the forefront of most leaders' minds, but companies should also be looking to and preparing for the future. Those that have honed their capabilities in strategic workforce planning will be in the best position to capture major competitive advantages in the years to come.
