Abstract

In large workforces, such as the Public Servant workforce of the Canadian Department of National Defence, many staffing actions (hires, departures, promotions, transfers) are actioned each year. Estimating the number of such actions that will take place in the department’s various units is relevant to the assignment of Human Resource support capacity. The rates at which staffing actions are required is also indicative of the health of workforce occupational segments. This paper presents a method for estimating the number of staffing actions that will be required to maintain a workforce to a state of equilibrium. It also shows how that method was practically implemented in support of Strategic Human Resource Planning for Canada’s Department of National Defence civilian workforce.
