What is the cost of employees today and what will this be in the future? This book explains how to take a data-driven approach to workforce planning and allow the business to reach its strategic goals. Organizational Planning and Analysis (OP&A) is a data-driven approach to workforce planning. It allows HR professionals, OD practitioners and business leaders to monitor an organization' s activities and analyse business data to regularly adjust plans to ensure that the business succeeds. This book covers everything from how to build an OP&A function, the difference between strategic and operational workforce planning and how to manage demand and supply through to how to match people to new or changing roles and develop robust succession planning. Organizational Planning and Analysis also covers how OP&A works with HR operations including recruitment, L&D, reward and performance management and includes a chapter on new human capital analytics which allow a business to improve the return on investment for each of its employees. Full of practical advice and step by step guidance, this book is also supported by case studies from organizations including KPMG, Sainsbury' s, WPP, Accenture, TSB, Johnson & Johnson, Aer Lingus and FedEx.

" * Dave Ulrich, Rensis Likert Professor, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan Partner The RBL Group * "Leadership is about taking an organization from one place to another knowing that the movement can only come from the people.

" * Par Astroem, President Gardena Division, Husqvarna Group * "In his new book Organizational Planning and Analysis, Rupert offers a compelling guide for executive and practitioner alike. If you truly believe that people are your organization' s greatest asset and you have been frustrated with previous efforts to make a workforce transformation real, then look no further.

Doing so will ensure that you can achieve sustained and measurable workforce success. Highly recommended.

" * David Green, co-author of Excellence in People Analytics, Managing Partner at Insight222 and host of the Digital HR Leaders podcast. * "We all know, in theory, that planning and analysis founded on good data is an organizational must.
