- Brief organizational identification and background
- Description of the catalyst for change
- Supply analysis–evaluating the current demographics, skills, and competencies, anticipated turnover, etc.
- Demand analysis–current workforce training needs, available labor, external forces that may influence current and needed labor.
- Gap analysis—when comparing the supply and demand analysis, identify the additional number of employees needed, if anyone will not be needed, the needed skills set, as well as contingency scenarios as just a few of the thing you will evaluate.
- Solution—consider a variety of solutions such as recruiting, training/retraining, contingent staffing, temporary workers, part-time employees, contract workers and consultants, outsourcing.
