Workforce Segmentation: Corning Roles that impact the strategy Strategic Critical to driving long-term competitive advantage, with specialized skills or knowledge TALENT SEGMENT AND VALUE Core The Engine of the Enterprise, unique to the company and core to delivering on its products and/or services Build Protect Roles impacted by the strategy Requisite Cannot do without, but whose value could be delivered through alternative staffing strategies (other than full-time headcount) Non-Core Talent whose skill sets no longer align with the company s strategic direction Streamline/ Outsource Redirect 16
Operational vs. Strategic Workforce Planning Operational Purpose: Forecast short-term headcount Focus on detail & precision Output: headcount & staffing plans Planning period: 6 mos. 2 yrs. Built on one set of assumptions (single scenario) Strategic Purpose: Produce information & insights to support strategic business decisions Focus: Dialogue w/ senior execs re Business strategy Workforce implications ID critical roles, skills Integrated with business and budget planning Output: directional numbers Longer planning period: 2-5 yrs. Multiple scenarios considered 17
Why Operational Workforce Planning Isn t Enough Uncertainty about the future 3-5 years from now Talent scarcity necessitates longer term strategy Changes in markets, products, services, technology, etc. create different talent demand (skills, knowledge, locations, jobs, numbers, etc.) Organizations that can respond rapidly and effectively to change have a competitive advantage over others. Assess risks, opportunities, costs Optimize their use of talent 18
As SWP gains credibility and matures, it can become an input to Business Strategy, as well as an integrating process that drives HR Strategy and HR Practices Business Strategy HR Practices SWP SWP HR Strategy 19
The Pay-Off from SWP? Company Can Evaluate business scenarios based on more robust models Manage human capital risk Drive business results Prioritize human capital investments Leverage talent across lines of business and geographies Make smarter decisions to buy, build, borrow, or redeploy talent 20
The Intersection of SWP and Contingent Labor Strategies 21
By Linking SWP and Contingent Staffing Strategies, Companies Can Weigh the trade-off between short-term cost and longer-term capability requirements Capture total labor costs Manage contingent workforce as a visible component of their workforce strategy, talent scenarios, etc. Develop a governance process and decision tools to help leaders make optimal labor choices in the face of uncertainties 22
