When is your organisation's next Dec 31st 1999?


My colleague, Maria, talks about the "Human Capital Millenium Point" - that is - when is your organisation's December 31st 1999? Trouble is, it won't have a clearly defined date. You know that you'll face some kind of people challenge that's sort of connected to the changing demographics of the population. Here's a few things to think about:

  1. Which segments of your workforce create the most value for you?


  2. Which areas of your organisation will be most impacted by impending waves of retirement?


  3. What skills do you need over the next five years that you don’t currently possess?


  4. In what areas is the talent market heating up?


  5. What is your turnover in critical areas? How much is it costing you?


  6. Are you actively developing talent portfolios that will help us understand the consequences of talent decisions?

What about:

Will there be any direct employees in our organisation in 10 years time?

How will we measure workforce capability?

How will the changes affect how we reward people?
