Workforce planning

Workforce planning is a strategic process in which companies systematically analyze and plan their future workforce requirements. The aim is to ensure that the company has the right number of employees with the necessary qualifications and skills to achieve the company’s goals.

An important aspect of workforce planning is personnel requirements planning. Here, short, medium and long-term goals are defined to determine future workforce requirements. This includes the identification of quantitative and qualitative requirements based on the company’s strategic goals and expected development. A detailed analysis of the current employee base is carried out to identify skills, qualifications, experience and other relevant characteristics. This enables an assessment of whether the existing resources meet future requirements. Based on the results of the workforce needs analysis, workforce planning develops strategies for recruiting new employees or developing the existing workforce. This can include training, continuing education programs or other measures to improve skills. The consideration of demographic factors such as age, gender and ethnicity of the workforce is also part of workforce planning. This can be used to identify future challenges and opportunities in connection with the age structure and the shortage of skilled workers. Due to the dynamic nature of markets and companies, the ability to adapt and be flexible is an important aspect. QVANTUM enables this agility with the innovative QVANTUM Controlling Cloud.

Personnel cost planning is also indispensable in workforce planning, as it calculates and plans the costs incurred in personnel requirements planning. The aim of personnel cost planning is to optimize the company’s personnel costs as far as possible. Due to the enormous influence of these costs on the company’s total expenditure, the degree of optimization here is very decisive for the company’s success.
