Workforce Planning & Analytics

Advanced analytics is now being used for predictive modeling to forecast future workforce needs in the mining industry. By analyzing historical data, employee performance metrics, and market trends, mining companies can now anticipate skills shortages, turnover rates and which positions may be combined or eliminated with the use of new technologies and A.I. This allows proactive decisions to be made about talent acquisition, training and development.

With a myriad of workforce management platforms emerging to streamline HR processes, employee records, performance evaluations, training modules, and data analytics tools, more efficient workforce management processes are being created. By identifying the factors influencing employee turnover and job satisfaction within a company, HR strategies can be data-driven to implement targeted retention strategies or improve employee engagement.

Key Client Challenges:

1. How can we accurately forecast workforce demand and anticipate skill shortages to ensure we have the right talent at the right time?
2. What data sources should we integrate to get a comprehensive view of our workforce, and how can we ensure data quality and reliability?
3. How can we use analytics to identify patterns or trends in workforce performance and productivity, and what actions can we take based on those insights?
4. What metrics should we track to measure employee engagement, satisfaction, and well-being, and how can we use this data to improve retention and productivity?
5. How can we optimize workforce scheduling and rostering to better utilize resources while maintaining compliance with labor regulations?
6. How do we ensure sensitive employee data is housed securely and protected from cyber threats?
