Manpower Requirements and Workforce Planning

Defining Manpower Requirements and Establishing Workforce Planning Processes are at the Heart of Business Transformation

WBB realizes that the workforce management is currently undergoing a profound transformation. While this transformation is being enabled by technology, it is being driven by three major challenges in the workforce and work environment: the U.S. workforce and the West in general is aging and becoming more diverse, the public and Congress are demanding greater accountability from public sector organizations, and all organizations are struggling to control costs.

The demographic challenges are and will continue to change the Federal workforce and the workplace. As the baby boomers enter retirement, the populations behind them are not large enough to supply all the skilled workers the country will need. This means that competition for personnel between and within the public and private sectors will intensify. This is not a new problem. For years, human capital managers raised the cry that "half the federal workforce will be eligible to retire in the next five years." To date, the retirement wave has not hit with the force that many originally foresaw, however, it is coming. Some facts about the Federal workforce:

Ages 50-54 years represent the largest group in the workforce
Average age of a new hire into the government is 37 years
75% of the workforce is over 40 years; average age is 46.4 years
Retirements were up 12% in 2005

In addition, the emerging U.S. population is more diverse than ever before and provides plenty of opportunities for those organizations willing and able to leverage this diversity.
