The Conference Board Human Capital in Review™: Focus on Strategic Workforce Planning (Vol. 2, No. 2, 2012)

This issue discusses current implementation of SWP by companies and the latest research on using it to benefit the business. For example, in particular, companies have yet to marry their strategic workforce planning strategy with the effects of the impending retirement of the Baby Boomer generation.

This edition also discusses the use of analytics in SWP efforts and what benefits they bring, including measuring the effectiveness of a companies existing talent management strategies such as diversity and inclusion and employee engagement. Organizations could benefit even further by applying analytics to the management of their contingent workforce.
