Put your workforce plans to the test

When disruption hits, whether through workforce shortages, rapid change or unexpected events, even the best workforce plans are tested.

Beyond Six Steps: Workforce Planning for Resilience is a new open programme designed to help organisations stress-test and strengthen existing workforce plans, ensuring they are robust, adaptable and ready for what’s next.

Developed by the team behind the trusted Six Steps Methodology to Integrated Workforce Planning®, this programme goes beyond building planning capability. It focuses on resilience in practice, identifying fragilities, pressure-testing assumptions and embedding adaptability across the workforce planning cycle.
