Hello,

I am a HRBP supporting a 4000 employee, w/roughly 400 in Development & SQA SW Development shop.

We are part of a much larger parent company with decentralized HR and very little shared best practices from OpCo to OpCo.

Historically, our HR function has not been the most progressive and the workforce planning "exercises" have solely occurred between the business and finance. I am looking to bring additional HR rigor to the table for the first time by partnering w/our Technical Recruiter and wondering if anyone can shared general ideas, tools, e-tools (workforce planning websites) and/or something as simple as an excel template. 

 

If anyone has something they’d be willing to share, please feel free to post your comments or email me directly

Matt.plitzkow@gmail.com

 

Thanks for your suggestions and tools in advance!
Matt

I am a global business strategist for a Fortune 100. I have recently released a book of Workforce Planning Guidance & Back-Up plans which contains several templates and thoughts on approaches. It is available on Amazon in eight countries and is a quick 100-page read.

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
