Question

“Workforce planning is based on having the right talent in place as needed by the organization and its managers.” Discuss why you agree or disagree with this quote. 200-250 words

Answer 1

The way of doing business has changed a lot from what it was few years back and today in order to be successful, organizations need to be effective in their approach because as the level of competition both in terms of quality and quantity is very high, the margin for error is less and organizations cannot afford to make mistakes as that will cost them huge. I will agree with the statement that workforce planning is all about having the right talent at the right place as required by the organization or business. This will mean that the right amount of people needs to be recruited and assigned or deployed to the right units so that they become effective and useful for the organization.

We need to be effective that a finance professional recruited is assigned to the financial unit of the organization or else they may not be able to perform efficiently. We cannot expect a financial professional to work and perform for the legal department and we cannot expect performance or effectivness from them as well. I believe that workforce planning is an integral aspect and in order to be successful, this is quite effective and efficient as well.
