WFP Principles – cont’d • When change is planned – workforce impact statement (Short and Long term) outlining roles and skills will be lost/what will be gained • Clear Career pathways are articulated & documented • The Organisation has an informed view of real and potential talent and demonstrates active Succession Planning • Staff are engaged in and consulted about workforce planning developments and service changes and configurations • Consumers & Carers are active participants in the development of workforce profiles/competencies and overall workforce plans.
