With all the disruption in the workplace the last two years, a lot of my clients are asking about their strategic HR planning for 2022. Where many companies looked at historical data and trends to help them plan for their upcoming year; it seems the data and trends they once followed are of little to no use for 2022 planning.
So how does a nonprofit or small business predict the future HR needs of the organization after analyzing the organization’s current needs, external labor market and the future HR environment that the organization will be operating in when truly, no one knows these days?
The simple three step process is this:
I. Set your GOALS – Guides that explain what you want to achieve.
II. Define your OBJECTIVES – implementation steps you create to attain those goals.
III. Create your STRATEGY – a plan of action you design to achieve your goals.
How do you get started? I have outlined below five sample goals objectives and strategies that will spark you to think about your 2022 strategy. If these do not all apply to your company, we can help you create one that does!
