Strategic Workforce Management

Description

Leadership of organisations spend much of their time analysing market trends, customer behaviour and what their competitors are doing. This makes a lot of sense for businesses seeking competitive advantage. However, in seeking competitive advantage very little time is spent on the greatest source of competitive advantage, namely the organisation’s people or workforce. In a vague, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world of business, strategic workforce management is the greatest differentiating factor between a highly successful and mediocre organisation.

This course on Strategic Workforce Management looks at how to align your people strategy with the business strategy. An organisations competitive advantage is its people and in order to add maximum value for the organisation, these people must be optimally distributed throughout the company.

• The vision & strategy
