Workforce Segmentation
Strategic Critical Core Necessary (non-core) A critical step in our project. Before we could give a good answer to where our risk in the organization was we needed to get on the same page about what positions/people were important to us now and in the future. We went back and identified all 900+ unique positions. It forced us to review our incentive structure, succession plans.
15
Talent Review Approach
Strategic Critical Core Necessary(non-core) 1 to1 Succession 1 to few Succession 1 to many Workforce Plan by groups 1 to many Monitor no plan
16
Data Required vs. Nice to Have

Use Workforce Information to Guide HR Strategy
Number of strategic and critical positions at risk? Which at risk positions are hardest to fill? What positions need LTI? What knowledge transfer plans need to be our top priority?
26
Next Steps: Strategic Talent Review
Officer and Director level review of all individuals and current individual development plans for high risk strategic and critical positions Director and Manager review of action plans for high risk core positions. Rotation/Developmental Assignments Potential Strategic Critical

Ongoing balancing act…
