Section 1: Setting the Stage

Section 1 sets the stage for effective strategic staffing. It provides an overview of the strategic staffing process and its objectives and describes the context in which strategic staffing works best. The section focuses on descriptions of specific nontraditional approaches to strategic staffing/workforce planning that have proved effective in a wide variety of organizations and industries. The section also includes a description of a new “hybrid” approach to strategic staffing/workforce planning that combines some aspects of a companywide approach with the focused, targeted process that I strongly advocate.
