Today’s Human Resources staff are stretched beyond their traditional roles. Overseeing the current employee pool (onboarding, training, overseeing performance reviews, trouble-shooting) can cut into time to identify and interview new staff.
In fact, hiring staff has become more complex as more prospective employees offer different skillsets and experiences. A growing number of HR professionals bring specific skills needed to assemble new teams.
Human Resources is About Employee Assessments
Most employees and employers will agree that two game-changers appeared in Human Resources over the past couple of decades:
- The sheer amount of resumes shared by prospective employees on the web that have to be gathered and assessed.
- This emergence of strategic workforce planning to meet specific functions.
Which came first? It’s probably a chicken and egg question. What we do know is that HR data collection tools and strategic planning are both essential to identify and hire the right people for a team.
These developments have changed the hiring side of the HR industry from paper-sorters to data analyzers capable of making smarter hiring and training decisions. It’s also created specialists within the HR field who can capitalize on these in-demand skills.
Strategic Workforce Planning Strengthens Corporate Readiness and Productivity
Today’s HR professionals know that accurate employee assessments are critical for making smart hiring decisions. Strategic workforce planning can’t be done on the fly or in between creating and delivering employee training on company policies, privacy, security, and other topics.
Moreover, strategic workforce planning requires a lot of careful steps. It means making sure potential employees fit the corporate environment and vice-versa. This means assessing personal characteristics along with skillsets. Once hired, proper planning ensures new employees are onboarded and oriented, factors that rate high on employee satisfaction and contribute to lower turnover.
