I attended class today and found the information to be very useful towards our future
projects. Strategic workforce planning is created by designing a process within your
organization that proactively anticipates current and future hiring needs. This helps
to ensure your organization has the resources needed to meet its business goals.
Aggregate planning is the process of developing, analyzing, and maintaining a
preliminary, approximate schedule of the overall operations of an organization.
The aggregate plan generally contains targeted sales forecasts, production levels,
inventory levels, and customer backlogs. Both help to maximize business goals.

Professor & Class –
One of the more interesting topics discussed in Chapter Six was “HR Issues and
Challenges Related to Technology”. More specifically, Telework.
The text mentions that the accounting firm Deloitte stared to allow its employees to
work from home back in 1996 provides the opportunity for its employees to
telecommute up to 5 days a week. This is very pertinent to me, at my last employer
(before I retired from that job) as an IT developer – I telecommuted from home for 15
years. At one point in during that period, our IT development group had 30
employees under one director (with 3 different managers) – however at least 25% of
that entire group telecommuted from all parts of the United States. We were
fortunate that our director was “forward thinking” and realized the benefits (cost
savings for the company, environmental benefits of fewer employees driving cars,
the huge moral benefit to employees allowed to commute).
Quite unfortunately – two years before I left that employer there was a change of
heart. Senior management adopted the position that if employees were not at the
workplace, they could not be monitored to ensure they were working at all times
(despite having numerous tools to gauge if telecommuters were at their personal
computers, using their keyboards, attending meetings and most importantly –
producing output).
Current telecommuters were grandfathered for a certain number of years and
telecommuters in any supervisory position were told they could no longer stay in that
position unless they returned to the office.
