SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
In the contemporary business environment, organizations are striving to manage their workforce effectively in order to keep up with current needs and achieve sustained high performance while predicting the nature and impact of future changes and challenges. This process requires an effective and appropriate strategic workforce plan (SWP) that meets the organization's short-and long-term goals. SWP is considered one of the most critical functions determining an organization's performance and sustainability. It is a process used to align an organization's human capital strategies and practices to its current and emerging mission and strategic goals to ensure that the organization has the right people, in the right place, at the right time, and at the right cost. Based on several studies, almost every organization regardless of size engages in some sort of SWP, but too often SWP fails to achieve the desired results.
