the Managing Director of PlanPro Insight, Nel’s current focus is on
enabling organisations to embrace the available HR technology to
work towards building a Smarter Workforce.
People are every organisation’s largest and most valuable asset. A
well sculpted workforce and positive culture significantly impact the
success and well being of an organisation. To meet the challenges
presented by the dynamic environment of the Public Sector,
employees must be equipped with the knowledge and resources
needed to competently deliver consistent outcomes. However, in
order to create a workforce plan that addresses employee needs,
HR professionals must first understand the underlying factors or
fundamentals that drive success.
With Public Sector governance structures continually changing, it can
be difficult to project the future requirements of an organisation. It is
imperative that HR professionals acknowledge and adapt to evolving
future trends whilst creating a robust workforce plan. Uncertain trends
and variables often complicate future projections, however through
the use of tactical workforce analytics, HR professionals can derive
the needs of a complex workforce from quality data.
In this Workshop, delegates will explore the essential tools and
techniques demanded of HR professionals in the Public Sector to
create a sophisticated workforce plan against a backdrop of continual
change. It will focus on the technical abilities needed to integrate and
interpret workforce analytics into your organisational strategy.
