Other organizations, however, must also include ample information regarding external and industry-wide trends as well as a variety of other factors, and the more comprehensive and accurate this information is, the more realistic workforce planning predictions will be (Flynn et al. 2010). Developing techniques to encourage employees to stay, to attract applicants, or to ease into individual or group terminations in a way that minimally disturbs the remaining workforce is also the result of accurate information gathering and analysis on a historical and ongoing basis, and is also a major part of many developing workforce planning software tools (Frauenheim 2009).
Conclusion
Google no longer holds the number one spot on Fortune's "Best Companies to Work For" list, but it is still ranked quite highly. Ongoing workforce planning efforts designed to attract and keep talent will likely continue to bolster this company's reputation in the industry and as a model for corporations worldwide. Through accurate information gathering and careful analysis, as well as an ongoing application of findings and a continuing adjustment of predictive theories and tools, Google is leading the way in the realm of workforce planning.
