“The primary reason for doing workforce planning is Economics. If done well, workforce planning will increase productivity, cut labour costs, and dramatically cut time-to-market because you’ll have the right number of people, with the right skills, in the right places, at the right time.” (Sullivan J 2002)

“Planning works because it forces everyone to begin looking toward the future, and prevents surprises. It requires managers to plan ahead and to consider all eventualities. Effective workforce planning is an integrated talent-management system..” (Sullivan J 2002)
