Workforce Planning Made Simple - Online

Optimise your allied health workforce with a comprehensive guide to workforce planning. 

Workforce Planning Made Simple has been designed for those with responsibility for workforce planning and allocation. In this comprehensive course, participants will explore the workforce challenges facing the allied health professionals they represent and develop targeted strategies to overcome these challenges. Join expert facilitator Dr Susan Nancarrow as she guides you through the process of reframing your allied health workforce challenges into workable solutions using a proven methodology which has been developed with, and adopted by, allied health workforce leaders nationally and internationally over the last 20 years. Dr Nancarrow will lead you through a step-by-step approach to workforce planning, starting with understanding the current state of your organisation's workforce, identifying existing challenges, and projecting future needs and ideal outcomes. By the conclusion of the course, you will have a workforce plan that aligns with your organisation's goals and objectives. Plus, you'll also receive two support check-ins post-course to ensure you're on track with your new workforce plan.
