Workforce Maturity Model

The challenges of the rapid change of technology, demography and the business models have led to the evolution of various tools and techniques that could offer help to human resource professionals in managing the resources. This practice is being referred in organizations as Workforce Planning (WFP) or Manpower Planning. Though it started as an HR function, it has now evolved into a function with its roots spread across Strategy, HR, Finance, Infrastructure, Marketing etc. The purpose of this paper is to help organizations assess the capability that they have in workforce planning and the current maturity of this capability. Such an assessment could help organizations in understanding the gap in capabilities (If any), developing new capabilities and maturation of the existing practices. This can also be used effectively for benchmarking and peer studies as well. The workforce maturity model has been developed in line with the maturity model that we see across in software industry as CMMi. The maturity model will contain levels of maturity and showcase the capabilities expected for each levels of maturity with the business context.
