Your challenges in skills management & Strategic Workforce Planning

Business transformation is accelerating, driven by technological advances like AI and ecological and societal challenges. In this context, HR departments are at the heart of this transformation, while at the same time having to prepare their own evolution.

To meet these challenges, 2 complementary approaches :

Medium-term Skills Management with Job and Career Management (GEPP) to reconcile the individual development of employees with the medium-term transformation of the organization.

Long-term Competency Management with Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP) to anticipate skills and manpower requirements over the long term with a global vision.

However, setting up these processes is complex. Companies are faced with the complexity of mapping jobs and skills, the need to forecast skills and the imperative of aligning these elements with an overall strategy.

You would like to :

Make the most of HR data, with up-to-date job descriptions, job and skills profiles and workforce data?

Keep track of skills with up-to-date skills maps?

Anticipating the future and identifying the jobs and skills of tomorrow?

Setting up a PPIM approach?

Set up a Strategic Workforce Planning approach?

Our Skills Management & Strategic Workforce Planning offer

Our Competency Management & Strategic Workforce Planning offer is designed to help you map your jobs and competencies in real time, and anticipate long-term skills and professions to support the transformation of your organization.

Today, the Human Resources Department must support the transformation of our businesses on 2 levels:

At company level, to ensure resilience over time in the face of accelerated change. This is an opportunity for the HR department to position itself as a true strategic partner for the business, anticipating and supporting business transformations.

At individual level, to ensure the employability of employees whose jobs are going to be transformed (Upskilling to keep them in their modified jobs) or disappear (Reskilling to help them change jobs).

In addition, the HR function must both support the transformation of all business lines, but it must also prepare its own transformation (e.g. AI’s impact on HR administrative tasks).

Whatever your project, our teams can operate in a variety of contexts and work with organizations of all sizes. Our HR Transformation Council experts can help you in two ways:

Skills management

Strategic Workforce Planning

Do you need to overhaul your skills management?

We can help you define and implement the fundamentals for monitoring your workforce, jobs and skills, using an agile approach.

GEPP, formerly known as GPEC (Gestion prévisionnelle des emplois et des compétences), is a strategic method. It aims to adapt, in the short and medium term, jobs, staff and skills to the requirements arising from corporate strategy and changes in the economic, technological, social and legal environment.

GEPP is based on a three-year legal process, and works with your employees on a daily basis to bring about individual development. We can help you set up your group & local reference systems, define the necessary HR indicators, train your teams to assess skills, and update your skills maps.

We can also help you choose or deploy your talent market place tool.

Would you like to get ahead of the game and take Strategic Workforce Planning a step further?

At SQORUS, we work closely with our Data & Finance experts to provide you with 360° Council.

That's why we can offer you Strategic Workforce Planning, a continuous process for dealing with the VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) environment. More flexible, it can be organized outside social dialogue.

The SWP enables us to project jobs, skills and the associated workforce over the long term, in order to meet the challenges and anticipate the future. It is a continuous improvement process that plays a central role and must be closely linked to the company's strategy.

Our innovative methodology will enable you to project your jobs and skills over the long term, thanks to collaborative ideation workshops to imagine the jobs and skills of tomorrow. This will enable you to carry out a detailed analysis of the gaps between the current and future situation, and to adopt action plans to close these gaps.
