14. What is Workforce Planning?
Workforce planning relates to analysing workforce profile data
and trends; forecasting demand; analysing supply; and
undertaking a gap analysis.
Data analysis, knowledge management, scenario planning
and Imagineering are relevant approaches.
Workforce profiling and analysis
should reflect organisational structure
now and into the future…

15. What is Workforce Development?
Workforce development bridges the gap between the
current workforce and the future (desired) workforce.
Workforce development strategies address ‘gaps’ from
the workforce planning process including competency
and training needs analysis, and human resource
management.
Workforce development and planning
maximises your staff capabilities and
capacity.

Notes de l'éditeur
Introduction
Activity: Thinking or your own role, what are the get to’s and the got to’s – do the get to’s out weigh the got to’s = positive retention equation
Where do they like to shop, eat, spend their spare time?
Who do they already know that is involved with the organisation?
Jessica to explain and reference article
Ensure you know what hours your child will work and how you will get them to and from their job Check what the rate of pay is Check with your child to make sure they are getting a payslip each week Monitor how stressed your child is and keep track of how often the employer contacts your child to work extra shifts Look at options beyond a part time job into self-employment Explore school-based apprenticeships If hand delivering or emailing resumes make them stand out
Mind map, sketch drawings, collage i.e. suit individual learning style
Jobs – last piece in the puzzle
