Digitalization, Industry 4.0, and demographic change have significant impacts on the workforce structure of companies. How can one address this? How many employees will be needed in the future to ensure the achievement of goals? What qualifications are required? At which locations? How does the current workforce develop in relation to demand? Where are future shortages anticipated? What measures can be taken to actively counteract this? The book explains the model of strategic workforce planning, which links corporate and personnel strategy, enabling companies to answer the core HR questions of the future and to forecast personnel needs in the long term.
