What this workforce planning course covers

Part of HCMI's Strategic HR Leadership Certification (SHRL-C) path.

  • Why workforce planning matters now

    This strategic workforce planning course teaches you to forecast headcount and skills needs against business strategy, so hiring, budgeting, and reskilling decisions are proactive rather than reactive. You'll learn demand and supply forecasting, gap analysis, and scenario planning for workforce planning in HR.

  • Building a workforce plan that ties to business strategy

    You'll learn how to translate business goals into a headcount and skills plan: segmenting critical roles, modeling attrition and internal mobility, and building a talent pipeline strategy that lines up with budget cycles. This is the practical, data-driven side of strategic workforce planning.

  • Who this course is for

    HR business partners, HR managers, and people analytics professionals who need to plan headcount and skills against business goals, and anyone pursuing HCMI's Strategic HR Leadership Certification (SHRL-C) and wanting hands-on workforce planning skills.
