Act on strategic workforce planning

Workforce agility refers to an organization’s ability to move people to support changes in the environment.  Think of it like supply and demand.  Workforce agility enables you to easily move people from one place, where demand is low to another place where demand is high.

It also enables you to respond to changes, such as automation, such that the skills associated with work change, so you can upskill people to do the new work, or move people with the right skills to that area. Or when a pandemic strikes and you need to radically change what you do and which roles are needed, you can transition people rather than furlough them.
