Your staff planning during and after corona

We all know by now how much impact the coronavirus has on our staff planning. In some sectors, staff deployment is at maximum, while in the hospitality and events sector, for example, it has come to a complete standstill. But more importantly, how do we get out of this together?

We can look further and further ahead; with the rising vaccinations, we are slowly moving towards the new normal. The challenge of the coming period lies in being flexible and agile in your staff planning, or strategic staff planning. Such strategic staff planning makes a connection between the right staff composition, your clients and your strategy.

Strategic personnel planning makes your company ready for the future and flexibly employable. You look at what will be needed in the future and take all uncertainties into account.

1. Make a future analysis and review your current situation

Think about what your industry looks like post corona. In the catering industry, for example, a lot of contactless transactions will take place and it may not be possible to have buffets anymore. This can make a big difference to your staff planning in terms of capacity or quality. Make a prognosis about what you think will happen in the future, so that you can perfectly anticipate the needs. Good preparation is half the battle!

2. Draw up an optimal strategic personnel planning

See what it takes to be employable in both the short and long term, ensure agility. Because of corona, many things can change last-minute. Think of a press conference about an earlier closing of the catering industry or an employee who suddenly tested positive. Whatever happens, you must always keep an overview of which employees are in which position and inform everyone.
