Task- vs. Role-Based Planning
When you start to ask, “What do you need to achieve?” instead of “Who do you want to hire?” you start to see how the Universal Workforce Model changes the conversation. Our outcome-first framework challenges legacy, predetermined approaches with a process that deconstructs the work. This way, you can assess workforce options objectively. You can apply a workforce planning model that breaks down siloed resources channels – employees, contingent workers, services providers and automation – to create an agile organization fit to thrive in the new world of work.
For years, the job description has been the fundamental currency of hiring and employee performance. Today, that is changing. The actual work being done is defined by outcomes, not roles. … The time is now to reinvent the HR profession. HR has been talking about what it is for years and never had the C-suite attention or the capability or urgency to do something big. Now it does.

Companies face immense pressures as they adjust to the ever-changing workforce. What’s important moving forward is that they treat workforce challenges as a priority across the entire business. The concept of the Workforce Business Partner doesn’t replace the work that HR, hiring managers, recruiters, and staffing and talent solutions partners do, but it provides the impetus that enables them to work smarter and with more agility on the journey to a Universal Workforce Model.

For years, Procurement, HR and business leaders have been forced to struggle with an incredibly complex set of talent acquisition and workforce challenges. Applying a different mode of thought and a new model to rethink, reimagine, and redesign today’s workforce has the potential to bring the focus back on the work itself.
