Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP) within Rooted HR is an essential practice designed to ensure that an organization has the right talent in place, both in the present and the future, to achieve its long-term goals. In regions like the Gulf, economic diversification and workforce localization policies have created unique challenges, making proactive workforce planning essential for business success. It involves assessing the current workforce, forecasting future needs, and developing strategies to bridge talent gaps or surpluses. SWP is a proactive and data-driven approach that aligns workforce management with business objectives, helping organizations anticipate changes in market trends, industry shifts, and employee demographics.
