Questions to support monitoring, evaluating and reviewing the strategic workforce plan:

• How will the organisation monitor the success of strategic workforce planning in delivering business objectives?
• How should actions be monitored and reported?
• How will progress towards outcomes be monitored?
• How will progress be communicated to stakeholders (e.g. leadership, employees, etc.)?
• Who will own the post implementation review process?
• How will the implementation be continually evaluated and revisited to ensure strategic workforce planning reflects any significant internal or external changes?

Possible sources of evidence:

• Implementation KPIs set by the organisation
• Strategic workforce plan and implementation roadmap

Suggested actions:

• Use an evidence based approach to develop, implement and monitor workforce plans by analysing operational, financial, workforce and external data
• Define KPIs and success metrics
• Report to the organisation head at least annually on the plan’s impact and any needed adjustments
• Monitor the expected impact of the changes on business objectives, and take corrective action if needed
• Assess the expected impact of the changes on organisational outcomes, and revise the organisation’s strategic planning as needed
• Monitor the expected impact of changes on organisational objectives, and use feedback in future strategic workforce plan iterations
