WORKFORCE PLANNING
|
 |
| Workforce Planning provides the framework for managing staffing decisions and related investments based on a State agency's mission, strategic plan, budgetary resources, and desired workforce competencies. As part of Workforce Planning, we are developing a statewide Succession Plan to address the needs of our changing workforce by establishing a process to identify the competencies employees need for future advancement and help develop those skills and abilities, utilizing, in large part, our State training and development resources. |
Training Courses: |
- Workforce Planning – (MDI) Introduction to Workforce Planning - Effective workforce planning is a continuous process that ensures an agency has the right number of people in the right jobs at the right time. With almost 30% of state employees eligible to retire in the next few years, agencies must think strategically about how to prepare for the potential retirement exodus. This course describes the workforce planning process and its objectives, and is designed for those who may be called on to participate in the workforce and succession planning process as well as Human Resources staff that will support it. A detailed description of the workforce planning model, tools, and techniques will be presented. Examples of specific agency workforce planning strategies, factoids, state demographics, and discussion of issues surrounding our multigenerational workforce will also be discussed.

- Knowledge Transfer – (MDI) Through group discussion and activities, this course offers participants the opportunity to explore different knowledge management strategies. Participants will practice and receive practical tools to capture and transfer knowledge that can be beneficial for individuals, supervisors/managers, teams, and agencies.
- Managing Generational Differences – (MDI) Generational conflict costs organizations in many ways, including lost productivity and low morale. This course is designed to educate and stimulate positive interaction among participants. It will also show you ways to dramatically reduce workplace conflict and provide managers and supervisors with strategies for effectively addressing generational differences in a positive way.
