HR Strategy and Workforce Planning for Education

How many people, in which roles, by when — and what they will cost.

What this looks like in education

The parts of hr strategy and workforce planning that are specific to this sector, rather than general.

Academic Manpower Planning

Faculty planned against sections, subjects and periods.

What this covers
  • Student strength and sections
  • Subject-wise faculty requirement
  • Period and workload norms
  • Faculty-student ratio targets
  • Lab and support staff requirement
  • Substitute and relief pool
  • New stream or grade expansion
  • Academic-year hiring plan
  • How many faculty does each subject need?
  • What is the workload per teacher?
  • Who covers an absence?
  • When must hiring be complete before term starts?

The general method — what hr strategy and workforce planning covers, the questions it answers and what an engagement produces — is the same whatever the sector, and is set out on the hr strategy and workforce planning page. What is above is the part that differs for education.

Where to start

Most engagements begin with a review of how this runs in your business today, then a written process and the sequence to implement it.
