Textbook: Strategic Staffing
Background Information
Forecasting the number, types, and quality of employees needed to execute the business strategy
is critical for effective staffing. Setting talent goals and objectives that are consistent with the
firm’s staffing strategy and talent philosophy are important goals of the planning process. The
assessment of the organization’s external labor environment and a company’s own talent
strengths and shortcomings can influence its competitive advantage and the business strategies it
is likely to be able to pursue successfully. (Phillips & Gully, 2015, p.138)
