Is a skills-based approach the future of strategic workforce planning?

In today’s fast-evolving workplace, organisations are looking for smarter ways to manage talent, align workforce strategies with business objectives, and leverage technology to stay ahead. As part of our Becoming skills-powered campaign Chris alongside LACE strategic workforce planning expert Becki Lovelady speak to Tom Shurrock VP of Product at Beamery. In this episode they unpack the strategies, challenges, and innovations shaping modern strategic workforce planning (SWP). SWP is an approach that forecasts the skills needed to meet business outcomes, not just in moment but for the future. By looking ahead, you are able to evaluate the actions needed such as upskilling current workforce or hiring in new skills. They also discuss how Beamery’s AI-driven talent platform is transforming SWP, helping businesses build more agile, skills-based organisations that can navigate the complexities of the modern labour market. The future of SWP is about being proactive, data-driven, and human-centric. Companies that invest in their people will not only navigate the complexities of the modern workforce but emerge as industry leaders. Listen now to learn how you can use a skills-based approach to refine your SWP.
