Workforce Planning allows you to model scenarios, so you can avoid surprises. When it comes to your staff, contractors and project cost, you need to be able to plan for multiple scenarios, adapt them daily AND take into account the long term consequences of any action.
1.
a sizeable proportion of site staff fall ill and remain off work, or need to self-isolate?
2.
our supply chain blows up, and it happens on a global scale? How will that impact our programme milestones and revenue?
3.
restrictions are lifted but our most important suppliers haven’t survived the crisis? How long can our business survive while things get back to normal?
4.
we need to scale up site staff quickly? How will that affect our net margin this year?
5.
further lockdowns are required if the spread of the virus accelerates again? How can we adapt your workforce to cope?
6.
key resources such as surveyors or valuers are in temporary short supply?
