| What Makes Workforce Planning Hot, Hot, Hot? |
| By Dr. Mary B. Young, The Conference Board |
| With the advent of ERPs, integrated databases, and powerful data-mining tools, strategic workforce planning is quickly becoming the new “it” capability, especially for large companies with dispersed workforces. Once the global economy improves and companies gain more experience, HRIS data will be integrated with financial, operations, supply chain, marketing, sales, and other kinds of data to produce business intelligence and enhance company performance. |

Strategic Workforce Planning –
The Foundation of Talent Management |
| By Stacy Chapman, Aruspex |
| Your workforce plan is the foundation for talent management. It includes a rich description of the current and future workforces, and clear illustrations of the changes you’ll make to achieve the right future. Because it describes the future workforce in terms of size, skills, style and segments, you connect your full talent strategy to it – this is the link between the business strategy and HR. |
