(This response is cross-posted to several lists discussing these
topics.)
In response to your inquiry about workforce planning tools and
methodologies, Success Factor Systems offers integrated
competency-driven off-the-shelf software for workforce planning.
It enables you to analyze the competencies required for processes,
implement multi-rater profiling of the competencies required for high
performance in jobs/roles, perform a 360 degree assessment of
individuals against current and future jobs/roles, and use the resultant
information to drive external and internal hiring, employee development,
performance review, career development, workforce development, and
workforce planning. The work profiling supports your choice of 5
methodologies and the person assessment supports your choice of 3
methodologies. Both support level of agreement (inter-rater
reliability) and other statistical analyses.
One customer has used it to assess 4,000 employees and build
competency-driven development plans in 6 months to improve performance .
Another customer has done the same for 7,000 employees in a year and is
just completing competency-driven development plans for their top 400
executives and managers.
Yet another customer is implementing it for 22,000 employees as they
enter a whole new line of business. They have determined the
competencies they need in the new line of business and are learning how
many current employees fit the new line of business, how many can be
quickly trained for the new line of business, and the resultant deficit
that they must fill from outside.
Success Factor has 15 years of unmatched expertise in behavioral science
research, competency implementations, and best practice human resource
management and offers advanced technology that puts integrated
competency-driven workforce planning and decision support on every desk.
