Workforce Planning Resources

Louisiana's Workforce Plan

Workforce planning is not a new concept. It is an essential part of any organization's management of its human resources. Workforce planning is the coordination of human resource programs in support of the organization's strategic goals and overall mission. Human resource programs such as recruitment, compensation management, performance evaluation, and training are all components of effective workforce planning.
