How it works

A key element of advanced workforce planning is the use of external data to determine current and future availability of the talent needed to fulfill a company’s strategic objectives. Data is available on the number of people employed in each occupation by location, and the outlook for the next 10 years in a given occupational field and role. These enable a company to estimate the ease or difficulty it will face in recruiting both replacement and net growth employees by function and role.
