Workforce Strategy Development
At Training Works, we are practitioners, not just consultants. We are very familiar with the challenges that come with executing a workforce strategy. This means you can expect strategies that are clear, actionable, and realistic — so that you can implement them without any major barriers and achieve the desired results.
What We Provide
Phase 1: Gaps & Opportunities Analysis
The first step to developing great workforce strategies is a Gaps and Opportunities Analysis based on thorough, systematic research. It involves analysis such as Economic Analysis, Labour Market Analysis, Employee Engagement Analysis, and/or Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Gaps Analysis
Economic Analysis
How do we visualize your ideal workforce of the future? By analyzing the primary data (if feasible) and secondary data available from sources such as economic development offices, federal statistics agencies, and others. We’ll identify current and future economic trends to create a picture of what the future looks like for your industry – and the workforce you’ll need to succeed.
Labour Market Analysis
Following economic analysis, we analyze factors such as new skills required, pay practices, performance measurement, recruitment and retention practices, and more to inform the workforce strategy. We have helped employers, government agencies, and industry associations to put necessary policies and programs in place to prepare the workforce for the future.
Employee Engagement Analysis
Why is employee engagement important? Built on key factors such as commitment, motivation, loyalty, and trust, it is the cornerstone of employee performance, growth, and retention. We specialize in measuring employee engagement levels and developing actionable insights to help employers and policymakers do the right things to keep their people engaged, happy, and productive.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Gaps
Awareness is the first step to achieving a needed change. We help organizations measure diversity, equity, and inclusion levels in their organization, industry, or region. Importantly, we also help to uncover any barriers such as stereotypes, lack of opportunities, and any other organizational shortcomings that may be undermining a particular group of people due to their gender, personal characteristics, or background.
Phase 2: Strategy Development
The next step is to develop the Workforce Strategy based on gaps and opportunities identified in Phase 1. It involves providing recommendations such as Learning Program Recommendations, Recruitment & Related Investment Recommendations, Employee Engagement Strategy and Benchmarking
Learning Program Recommendations
We aren’t just here to tell you what’s wrong. We are here every step of the way to help you put it right. We’ll draw on our deep expertise and experience to give you effective learning program recommendations. Informed by the Gaps and Opportunities analysis, these solutions will help you to efficiently resolve your workforce’s skills gaps and prepare them and your organization for the future.
Recruitment & Related Investment Recommendations
You’ve discovered where your gaps are and where your opportunities lie. Now you need the right people with the right training in your workforce to achieve your short- and long-term business goals. We provide recruitment and related investment recommendations to hire effectively – based on a proper understanding of industry practices, talent sources and demographics, talent shortcomings, and more.
Employee Engagement Strategy
A disengaged workforce can come about for a wide range of reasons. Factors like improper work culture, lack of feeling valued, absence of non-monetary incentives, and many more can contribute. The point is, no two situations look the same. That’s why we take the time to understand the unique needs of your organization and workforce and design tailored strategies to get your workforce re-engaged and working efficiently towards your goals.
Benchmarking
How do you measure your workforce’s development to make sure your investment is having the desired effect? We will help your organization to establish clear benchmarks along the way, and we’ll design measurement strategies that enable you to monitor and optimize your workforce’s progress against those benchmarks. That’s total and consistent accountability.
