"The right people with the right skills in the right place at the right time."

Workforce Planning and Development is a process that provides managers and supervisors with a framework for making human resource decisions based on:

• Organizational Mission
• Department's Strategic Plan
• Budgetary Resources
• Equal Employment Opportunity and Diversity Initiatives
• Desired Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Competencies

Workforce planning and development is a process that will fundamentally change the manner in which we manage the organization's human resources.  A systematic approach to workforce planning can facilitate more efficient and accurate alignment of the workforce to meet organizational goals, commitments and priorities.  If done well, the results can be a more effective utilization of members' knowledge, skills and abilities, increased opportunities for high potential workers, enhanced career counseling, staff development, identification of current and future training needs, and the strengthening of a diverse and multicultural workforce.
