Ongoing evaluation and adjustments are imperative in workforce planning and are keys to continuous improvement. Although a workforce plan should cover five years, it should be reviewed annually. If an agency does not regularly review its workforce planning efforts, it runs the risk of failing to respond to unanticipated changes.

Consequently, agencies should establish a process that allows for a regular review of workforce planning efforts in order to:

• Review performance measurement information.

• Assess what’s working and what’s not working.

• Adjust the plan and strategies as necessary.

• Address new workforce and organizational issues that occur.

Agencies should ask themselves the following questions to determine whether or not the plan needs revisions:

• Have agency strategies changed?

• Are the assumptions used in both the demand and supply models still valid?

• Have there been changes that would cause the strategies to need revision?

Organizations that have already been using workforce planning have found the following data collection tools to be helpful in determining whether or not the workforce plan is achieving results:

• Customer satisfaction inventories.

• Program progress reviews.

• Standardized questionnaires.
