Workforce Productivity Planning
A practical programme in workforce productivity planning, connecting working concepts with team decisions and relevant workplace examples.
About the Course
This programme develops a working approach to workforce productivity planning in the context of people processes and workforce priorities. Participants move from understanding the main concepts to examining a case, testing alternatives and explaining a practical recommendation. The three modules focus on capacity, work allocation and productivity measures. Examples are selected after the training brief so that they reflect the responsibilities and experience of the participant group.
Course Objectives
- Explain the role of capacity and identify the information required for a reliable assessment.
- Use a structured worksheet to examine work allocation and compare reasonable alternatives.
- Identify assumptions, missing evidence and implementation concerns related to productivity measures.
- Prepare an evidence-based people initiative and follow-up measures for discussion with an HR or learning team.
- Translate the exercise into a workplace action plan with owners, review points and measurable progress.
