Last chance to book brand new strategic workforce planning seminar for local authorities
Adult social care leaders are being encouraged to secure their place on Skills for Care’s new strategic workforce planning for local authorities seminar, designed to help organisations take a more proactive approach to workforce planning and prepare for future challenges across the sector.
Developed specifically for local authority commissioners, workforce leads and strategic partners in adult social care, the seminar responds to growing workforce challenges, including recruitment and retention pressures, increasing demand for care and the need for sustainable, long-term workforce planning.
The interactive seminar will help participants move beyond responding to immediate workforce issues and begin planning strategically for the future. Attendees will learn how to assess current and future workforce needs, identify workforce gaps and start developing a sustainable workforce strategy for their local area.
Using Skills for Care's Analyse, Plan, Do, Review framework, this interactive seminar will guide you through the key stages of strategic workforce planning. The framework provides a practical approach to understanding your current workforce position, identifying future workforce needs, developing priorities for action and reviewing progress over time.
By the end of the workshop, attendees will leave with practical actions they can take back to their organisation to strengthen workforce planning and support long-term workforce sustainability.
Becky Price, Head of Local Engagement, Skills for Care said:
Adult social care is projected to need an additional 410,000 posts by 2040 to meet growing demand. That makes strategic workforce planning more important than ever. Our latest ‘State of the Adult Social Care Sector and Workforce’ report provides robust evidence on workforce trends, service demand, demographic change and future workforce projections. This strategic workforce planning seminar can help local authorities put that evidence into practice, from analysing where they are now to planning what needs to change, taking action, and reviewing progress.
Strategic workforce planning helps local authorities move beyond responding to immediate workforce pressures and take a proactive approach to building a sustainable workforce for the future. By understanding current workforce challenges, anticipating future demand and working collaboratively with partners, organisations can make informed decisions that support better outcomes for people, the workforce and the wider care system. For a small investment of time, participants will leave with practical resources, templates and approaches that they can immediately apply within their own organisation.
