  Recently, Laura Wright Shubert , Vice President of People, Planning, and Insights at MetLife sat down with Insight222 and MyHRFuture's David Green πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ to discuss a real-life journey into Strategic Workforce Planning. While the entire podcast is more than worth a listen, here are some of my favorite take-aways.
  •  How to engage leaders in Strategic Workforce Planning in a faster and more effective way
  • The importance of the scenario planning component of Strategic Workforce Planning in being able to pivot quickly and adjust in this world of rapid change. (The world isn't static - you must look at dynamic models when it comes to strategic workforce planning.)

  • Why organizations should favor progress over perfection/precision when it comes to data and getting going with Strategic Workforce Planning

  • Why inferring skills in the Strategic Workforce Planning process is a "game-changer" but must be grounded into capacity to be meaningful

  • How turnover and "the great resignation" can be less of a problem than a retained, disengaged workforce

  • Why technology is a key factor and our beloved excel just won't get the speed and scale required for successful Strategic Workforce Planning
