Workforce Analysis Task Area

HRsolutions Task Area Description: Perform workforce analysis to assist in aligning government client’s organizational and human capital with its current and future business direction.

Booz Allen Capability Overview:
Booz Allen understands that workforce planning is the strategic alignment of an organization’s human capital with its current and future business direction. It is a methodical process of identifying and analyzing the current workforce and workload requirements, determining future workforce needs, identifying the gap between the present and future demands and implementing solutions so the organization can accomplish its mission, goals, and objectives.

Workforce analysis addresses organizational leadership questions, such as whether the current workforce has the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) needed to succeed in a changing environment, whether the organization can align human capital initiatives to meet strategic goals and achieve sustained, positive impact. Workforce analysis allows an organization to “maximize human capital” by identifying, developing, and deploying the right employees to accomplish operational goals and objectives.

Booz Allen Success Story:
Naval Sea Systems Command Contract Directorate (NAVSEA) asked Booz Allen to assist with the size and health of its workforce at its headquarters and field activities. Specifically, SEA 02 required an assessment of its 1102-series contract specialists, a community of 640 staff members across the directorate.

The study team submitted the assessment of the current health of the SEA 02 workforce based on the following categories: size, shape, abilities, and challenges. Final recommendations included implementing knowledge management tools, compensation restructuring, utilization of current incentives to increase retention, adopting a standardized approach to tracking workload, and improving development activities. The study resulted in an immediate impact, as the Booz Allen team's recommendations were included in the NAVSEA Commander's Guidance for FY04.
