Planning and resourcing your workforce

IES helps employers make effective, practical and sustainable resourcing decisions to be sure their workforce is ‘fit for purpose’ both in the short and longer term.

Can you be confident that you can deploy the right number of people at the right time, with the right skills to deliver your business goals?

Are your decisions based upon a sound understanding of both internal and external labour markets and the context in which they operate?

Do you understand the resourcing implications for your organisation as it undergoes change and staff and future staff pipelines also become increasingly diverse and complex?

Our work in this area acts as a catalyst for key deployment and resourcing related issues.

This area of our work has these subthemes:

• workforce planning
• external labour market intelligence
• attraction, recruitment and retention
• graduates
• flexible working
