    • A staffing plan is a document that outlines a company's current and future staffing needs. It is typically created by the human resources department, but should involve input from all departments and levels of the organization.
    • A good staffing plan should include the following information:
      • Current staffing levels: This includes the number of employees in each department and their job titles.
      • Future staffing needs: This includes the number of employees needed to meet the company's short-term and long-term goals.
      • Skills and qualifications required: This includes the education, experience, and skills that employees need to be successful in their roles.
      • Hiring and training plans: This includes how the company will recruit, hire, and train new employees.
      • Succession planning: This includes how the company will identify and develop future leaders.
    • Staffing plans should be reviewed and updated on a regular basis to ensure that they are aligned with the company's changing needs.
    • Here are some of the benefits of having a staffing plan:
      • Helps to ensure that the company has the right people with the right skills in the right places.
      • Helps to reduce turnover and improve employee engagement.
      • Helps to control labor costs.
      • Helps to improve productivity and efficiency.
      • Helps the company to be more agile and responsive to change.
    • A staffing plan answers the questions:
      • What work needs to be done?
      • How many people do we need to employ?
      • What skills and experience are necessary to do this work?
      • What skills gaps need to be filled (and are there any areas of redundancies)?
    • Staffing plans can encompass the entire company or apply to smaller teams or departments and even individual projects.
    • For example, if your company’s business goals focus on expanding its salesforce in the coming year, a staffing plan can help prepare the sales department for that growth—so that the right people with the right skills are brought on board at the right times.
    • Additionally, a staffing plan helps your business to:
      • Reduce labor costs and maximize productivity.
      • Eliminate skills gaps.
      • Increase employee engagement.
      • Increase employee retention and reduce turnover.
      • Improve customer experience.
      • Streamline business growth.
