Prospera® Adds Workforce Plan Feature


Neenah, WI - Prospera®, J. J. Keller's online people management tool for Human Resource professionals, recently added a new feature, "Create a Workforce Plan," that enables companies to take a proactive approach to maintaining and forecasting their staffing needs.

Prospera guides HR professionals through the process of creating a workforce plan, beginning with an overview of the organization's current workforce profile and future workforce goals. The service provides a workforce planning interview guide that provides direction for obtaining information about the future plans and objectives of management. Step by step, Prospera incorporates the necessary demographic calculations, such as employee gender, age, turnover, retirement eligibility and more, into the workforce plan.

The feature allows the HR professional to identify staffing changes; communicate the organization's staffing strategy; and determine areas that need to be addressed in the coming year.

"Due to the shortage of knowledge workers, it is more important than ever to strategically align staffing levels with organizational goals," stated Rustin Keller, Sr. Internet Products Manager. "Effective workforce planning must be a top priority for human resources departments in order to keep up with organizational changes."
