Developing the right systems and matching people to maximise the efficiencies of those systems is challenging. When managing your Not-for-Profit organisation workforce, you need to consider legislative, regulatory, and governance factors, as well as the following key challenges in today’s world – strategic workforce planning.
Workers of today, have little loyalty to an employer compared with previous generations. This means you must consider how to attract and keep the best people for as long as possible.
With the advances in technology, it is becoming more common to require workers to have highly technical skill sets that are also in high demand. This can cause delays in the recruitment process that need to be planned for.
In most cases, Not-for-Profit and NDIS Providers must adhere to a higher level of governance and regulations than for profit businesses. This can make hiring the right people a slow and tedious process.
As your organisation grows, strategic workforce planning becomes even more important as you must anticipate and plan for your future staffing requirements. Failing to do so will stunt your growth, and you will not be able to support as many people as you know you ought to be.
Aan you utilise a remote workforce, or do you require your team to be under the same roof? Or is a combination the best way to achieve your hiring and staff retention goals? There is much to be considered when managing an effective workforce, so your organisation can deliver your services efficiently.
These are just some of the challenges facing your human resource department. There are also numerous hidden challenges that often go unnoticed until you undertake strategic workforce planning.
