Local content requirements (LCRs)—quotas governments establish to ensure their communities benefit from foreign investments—often include hiring and training local people.

Strategic workforce planning can help companies pressure-test their plans and model various alternatives, providing business leaders with a realistic view of the costs and benefits.
