Fleks for the quantitative and qualitative personnel requirements in your strategic personnel planning

What is strategic human resource planning?

Strategic staff planning (SPP) is used to predict and optimise your staffing levels. It ensures a balance between your business strategy and the desired staffing level for the future. For example, which events can I expect? Based on this, you make a capacity planning and then a schedule planning.

Qualitative and quantitative personnel planning

For ideal strategic workforce planning, both quantitative and qualitative workforce needs analysis are used. A quantitative analysis is primarily concerned with numbers of people. How many employees are needed at the moment and can this increase in the future? This needs to be the right balance so that you always get your services optimally filled without incurring unnecessary costs for additional staff. You can pay attention to weather conditions or certain events such as the European Football Championship.

In addition, you have the qualitative staffing requirement. The word says it all, this is about the quality of your staff. Quality can include knowledge and skills, but also competencies that an employee possesses. What kind of functions are involved, how much experience is needed? It is also important to monitor the quality of your employees, there are several methods for this. The most well-known is the HR3P model, also known as the Human Resources Performance Potential Portfolio. In this model you go through several steps to see in which of the 4 categories you fit: laggards, question marks, worker bees and goldfish. It looks at how high the potential of the employee is and how high the performance is. Based on this you can see if employees need to be retrained or if they are up to standard. 

With the qualitative and quantitative staff planning analysis, you avoid unexpectedly high costs. You will always have optimal strategic staff planning with sufficient qualitative staff! 

Your strategic personnel planning for both the short and long term with Fleks! 

Scheduling packages help you to optimally deploy your workforce. Do you work with many temporary employees or ZZP'ers? Then these packages are probably not up to the job! There are many things to consider when working with temporary employees and self-employed persons in roster packages. It is difficult to keep a good overview. Where do your external staff come from? And how do we get all the departments involved to work well together? 

Fleks has the solution! Within Fleks, you can easily link your current scheduling package with your strategic personnel planning in Fleks. When shifts cannot be filled with internal staff, Fleks helps you to fill these gaps. You can easily send an open shift to affiliated temporary work agencies or intermediary agencies. 

The result? Vacant shifts filled more quickly, more time spent working in the same department and, as a result, peace and quiet on the shop floor. Increase your capacity utilisation to 99%!
