Workforce planning is essential for the success and sustainability of your operations.
As a small business owner, it’s one of the most effective activities you can do to identify workforce gaps and risks specific to your business and develop solutions.
Our new Workforce Planning and Development Toolkit is designed to help you with your workforce needs and improve productivity in your operations.
Download the toolkit to get access information, tools and resources that will help you hire the right combination of people and skills to achieve your business goals and drive growth in your business.
Who is it for?
This toolkit is designed for small business owners who want to understand their future workforce needs.
As a small business, you often rely on the skills of a few key employees but if any of them leave or retire, it can create a big knowledge gap in your operations.
With this toolkit, you’ll be able to pinpoint key workforce gaps and risks and develop strategies to find solutions.
Whether you’re wanting to hire your first employee or looking to grow, the Toolkit offers strategies for all stages of business development, giving you the tools, templates and information you need to plan effectively and meet your staffing needs.
How to use the toolkit
You can use the toolkit as a self-paced activity. You can do this on your own, or with a small team.
The toolkit includes:
- A workforce planning fact sheet
- Suggestions on who to involve in each phase
- Templates, tools and information to help you analyse your operations and plan effectively.
Workforce planning is a valuable process for securing the future of your business. It’s about having the right people with the right skills in the right roles, at the right time and at the right cost (the five Rs) to support your growth.
The Workforce Planning and Development Toolkit is a key initiative of South Australia’s Small Business Strategy 2023-2030.
