Workforce planning can be successful without being complicated 

The Workforce Planning Connect resources provide practical tips and tools on how to develop and implement a workforce plan for your business. It can be used by people who have never undertaken workforce planning before, as well as those who may have done some workforce planning previously. The resources were designed for you to step through the process without assistance, but that doesn’t mean you have to do it alone. You may already use a business advisor or access an external support service that can assist you.

The process is the same for any size business in any industry.
Start with the end in mind. Be clear about what you want to achieve.
Data collection doesn’t have to be complex.
It can help you retain staff and compete for the workforce you need now and in the future.
Workforce planning helps you manage your workforce risk and focus your energy on the right place.
A workforce plan is not a static document, you can update it as often as you like.
