​Workforce Planning

The State of California Workforce Planning Model provides guidance for developing a comprehensive workforce plan that aligns staffing with the strategic missions, critical needs, and  the equal employment opportunity, Annual Workforce Analysis, and diversity goals of the organization. ​
