Workforce Planning Imperative

Workforce Planning is no longer an emerging issue: it is now a business imperative with businesses of all sizes holding the CEO or Board of Directors accountable for evidence-based Workforce Planning. But it is a new discipline, requiring new skills and new knowledge. Building Workforce Planning capabilities is what Julie Sloan does.

Her first book, An Introduction to Workforce Planning - Are You Ready for Crunch Time? was enthusiastically received by businesses of all sizes and industries around the globe as an introduction to the concept and a framework for beginning the Workforce Planning process. The Workforce Planning Imperative is a comprehensive follow-up, designed to enable businesses of all sizes to advance their Workforce Planning capabilities. Julie Sloan again provides a straightforward user-friendly book with practical information, tools, templates and resources.

The Workforce Planning Imperative is essential for anyone involved in Workforce Planning.
