Workforce planning tools
Helping you plan your skills needs
The UK's advanced engineering sectors are under unprecedented
competitive pressure to raise their game on workforce
development. Unless they they adopt a more strategic
approach to meeting this challenge, they risk failing to achieve
their business aims. It also goes much wider than this: the UK
could lose its currently advantageous position in the higher-value
advanced engineering marketplace and put at risk its sovereignty in
defence.
To address this issue Semta, together with the UK’s aerospace
sector through the Society of British Aerospace Companies’
(SBAC) People Management Board,
initiated a programme of work to promote Strategic Workforce
Planning (SWP) in the Semta ‘footprint’.
You can see the outcome from the project below - a tool which
enables companies to plan their training needs as well
as assess their current skills levels.
The strategic workforce planning process will enable companies
to plan and manage their workforce and skills supply chain on a
strategic basis linked to business requirements now and in the
future. The report and its recommendations, which have been tested
for its relevance and practicality of use, offer support to help
companies along the way.

The Appendices to the report provide detail
on:
While the SWP model was developed with the
aerospace industry it can be used across a range of science and
engineering companies.
The tool is free to use and if you would like
