Six Steps to Workforce Planning
• 1) Define Purpose of the Plan
• 2) Map the Service Change and how it will impact on the workforce
• 3) Assess demand for the workforce based on the service delivery model
• 4) Assess supply of staff available now and in the future
• 5) Develop and action plan to bridge gaps in demand and supply now and in the future
• 6) Implement and review

Step 1 – Defining the Plan
• Purpose
– Problems to resolve?
– What does plan aim to achieve?
• Scope
– What organisations are covered by the plan?
– What types of staff are covered?
– What client groups are covered?
– Timescale
• Ownership
– Who owns the plan?
– Stakeholder involvement?

Appraise your environment
Use a SWOT Analysis
Involve staff and other stakeholders
– What do we do well?
– What could we do better?
– What are we not making the most of?
– What are we worried about?
![Page 9: Tools for Workforce Planning Virginia McCririck. Six Steps to Workforce Planning 1) Define Purpose of the Plan 2) Map the Service Change and how it will.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515d94b550346dd6f8b49e9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Step 2 – Map the Service Change
Process of Service Re-design to meet service user choice, financial constraints, improved efficiency, changes in care through technology
Critical stage - focus on intended benefits and what is achievable
Key to get wide stakeholder involvement in this step
• Current baseline - of service costs and performance measures
• What forces will support the change and what will resist it?
• What are the options? What scenarios for service change have been considered?
• What is the preferred service delivery model? Is it realistic given financial realities? Will it lead to improved outcomes for service users?
![Page 10: Tools for Workforce Planning Virginia McCririck. Six Steps to Workforce Planning 1) Define Purpose of the Plan 2) Map the Service Change and how it will.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515d94b550346dd6f8b49e9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What tools will help with Step 2?
• Scenario Planning
• Culture web mapping
• Tools for service improvement –
– LEAN methodologies
– Systems thinking
– Action learning
– Allowing space for new things to emerge
![Page 11: Tools for Workforce Planning Virginia McCririck. Six Steps to Workforce Planning 1) Define Purpose of the Plan 2) Map the Service Change and how it will.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515d94b550346dd6f8b49e9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Scenario Planning
What is it?
Provides a framework to consider what the future holds• Identifies new risks and challenges in the future - helps to prepare for the
unexpected• Enables you to expand your vision and think of alternative futures• Most useful when there is limited clarity on the future• Helps to balance intuition, judgment and fact• Recognises that forecasting is notoriously difficult
Where has it been used?
Private sector companies, eg, Shell, Body Shop,• NHS
How do you do it?
• There is no set approach - depends on organisation, situation etc…
![Page 12: Tools for Workforce Planning Virginia McCririck. Six Steps to Workforce Planning 1) Define Purpose of the Plan 2) Map the Service Change and how it will.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515d94b550346dd6f8b49e9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
One approach to Scenario Planning
• Identify issues and forces that will shape the service and/or care pathway over a defined period of time
• Identify those that will have most impact
• Identify those that give the most uncertainty
• Identify 2 issues that cause most worry from this list and map against each other, taking a positive and negative view of each one
• Consider if there may be any wild cards coming into play
• Then consider what it will look like in each of the scenarios you have created
– Identify what this will mean for the service design
– Identify what this will mean for the workforce
– Identify what this will mean for service users
– Identify what this mean for partners along the delivery chain
• Are any common issues identified?
• What are the risk factors that you need to mitigate against?

Culture Web Mapping
The way we do things around here - very hard to change
Tool which enables a group to:
• Identify what they “take for granted”
• Identify barriers to change
• Identify those things which will be very difficult to change
• Identify those things which need to change
• Develop practical ideas for implementing strategic change

Cultural “From – To” Table Example
From… To…
Difficulty getting staff to work as a team
Staff calling in on their day off to help achieve the services targets
Staff bringing problems and complaints to manager to sort
“This was the problem and this is what we’ve done about it”
Clients told when to get out of bed Clients able to choose when to get up in the morning

Step 3 – Assess Workforce Demand
• Assess current & future demand for services
– Joint Strategic Needs Assessment– POPPI data– SAS data
• What is the impact of service re-design - on tasks and role design?
• What is the impact of new technology - on tasks and role design?
• What tasks could be better performed elsewhere in the delivery chain for the care pathway?
• What achieves the best outcomes for service users?
• Review this once you have completed Step 4 - how realistic is your new service model?
![Page 19: Tools for Workforce Planning Virginia McCririck. Six Steps to Workforce Planning 1) Define Purpose of the Plan 2) Map the Service Change and how it will.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515d94b550346dd6f8b49e9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What tools will help with Step 3?
Demand forecasting
• Ratio Analysis
• Trend analysis
• Cost analysis
Benchmarking
• productivity level comparison, internal and external
Systems thinking
Role re-design
• Aiming to achieve a picture of the sort of workforce you will require - numbers and skills
![Page 20: Tools for Workforce Planning Virginia McCririck. Six Steps to Workforce Planning 1) Define Purpose of the Plan 2) Map the Service Change and how it will.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515d94b550346dd6f8b49e9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Step 4 – Assess Workforce Supply
• The current workforce - what are the key characteristics of it?
• Workforce forecasting - internal and external supply of workers
• Options for increasing supply?
• Options for working differently?
![Page 21: Tools for Workforce Planning Virginia McCririck. Six Steps to Workforce Planning 1) Define Purpose of the Plan 2) Map the Service Change and how it will.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515d94b550346dd6f8b49e9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Key Steps in Internal Supply Forecasting
• Obtain data on current workforce numbers and skills in each skills cluster/occupational group for whom forecast is to be generated
• Analyse each group by age, length of service, diversity classification, current performance, future potential
• Forecast future ‘wastage’ (i.e. losses) based on trends in past turnover and estimates of the likelihood that these will continue
• Project retirements
• Look at past trends in transfer/promotion out of the occupational group to other occupational groups in the organisation
![Page 22: Tools for Workforce Planning Virginia McCririck. Six Steps to Workforce Planning 1) Define Purpose of the Plan 2) Map the Service Change and how it will.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515d94b550346dd6f8b49e9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
External Supply Forecasting
• Research into skills shortages and recruitment difficulties
• Trends and projections in the educational output of people with the relevant skills and qualifications (possibly locally, nationally and internationally)
• Trends in population movements in the area(s) concerned or wider migratory patterns nationally or internationally
• Competitive factors in the labour market, locally or more widely
• Changing expectations about work and working conditions or benefits
• Pay rates operating in the local labour market
![Page 23: Tools for Workforce Planning Virginia McCririck. Six Steps to Workforce Planning 1) Define Purpose of the Plan 2) Map the Service Change and how it will.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515d94b550346dd6f8b49e9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Step 5 – Developing an Action Plan
• Gap analysis
• Priority planning
• Action planning
• Risks to achieving the outcomes
• Managing the change
![Page 24: Tools for Workforce Planning Virginia McCririck. Six Steps to Workforce Planning 1) Define Purpose of the Plan 2) Map the Service Change and how it will.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515d94b550346dd6f8b49e9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Internal strategies (‘grow’ your own) could involve:
• Work restructuring and skills change
• Changing (eg flexible) work patterns
• Training and development
• Retraining
• Promotion/succession plans
• Redeployment
• Redundancy
![Page 25: Tools for Workforce Planning Virginia McCririck. Six Steps to Workforce Planning 1) Define Purpose of the Plan 2) Map the Service Change and how it will.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515d94b550346dd6f8b49e9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
External strategies (‘buy in’) could involve:
• External recruitment of qualified staff
• External recruitment of trainee staff
• Other measures to influence supply, such as educational sponsorship
![Page 26: Tools for Workforce Planning Virginia McCririck. Six Steps to Workforce Planning 1) Define Purpose of the Plan 2) Map the Service Change and how it will.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515d94b550346dd6f8b49e9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Strategic partnering
