Human Resource Executive magazine is hosting a free webinar on the subject of using scenario-analysis techniques to improve strategic workforce planning. The featured speaker will be Axiom's Dr. Aaron Sorensen. The webinar, “Scenario-Based Approaches to Workforce Planning: Talent Planning for a Range of Likely Futures,” will be held on Feb. 9 from 2:30-3:30 EDT. Registration is available at http://www.bit.ly/wlV6NY.

In this webinar, HR leaders will learn how to:

• Gain an early read on how market conditions and changes in the labor market will impact the talent-supply chain;
• Utilize scenario-planning techniques to enhance strategic workforce planning efforts;
• Differentiate the workforce by segmenting talent around core capabilities.

“HR executives don’t want to be caught scrambling at the last minute to fill positions or shuffle talent around,” said Sorensen. “Forward-thinking organizations are looking ahead and evaluating possible business scenarios, not waiting until the last minute, to align their talent pools with emerging business demands.”

Sorensen will also examine some of the successes and failures that companies have made managing talent in periods of turmoil.
