HR professionals are too often an "afterthought" in organisational cost-cutting, when they should play a key role in proactive cost-optimisation and strategic workforce planning.
Watch this HR Daily Premium webcast, where Gartner HR advisory director Robin Boomer and HR Daily editor Jo Knox will discuss:
- problems with common approaches to reducing workforce costs;
- how leading organisations tackle cost optimisation;
- moving from overhead reduction to strategic workforce design;
- what strategic workforce planning really is, and isn't;
- key obstacles to levelling up HR's SWP capability and sophistication;
- how to identify which workforce capabilities are differentiators, versus commodity skills;
- automation and outsourcing considerations; and
- case studies highlighting best practices.
