Workforce planning

Meeting the skills needs of your flexible workforce can be daunting


Most industries are faced with an aging workforce and staff retention issues. Employees want more flexible working options including part-time, job share, compressed working weeks, and working from home. Your workforce may be increasingly online, remote and mobile. How will you manage all this into the future? Your workforce may be facing many changes and needing comprehensive planning or implementation. Aspin Online Consulting has extensive experience in understanding the flexible workforce, virtual work, telework and virtual teams.


Our processes



  • We can help by defining your current situation in a way management, CEO and Board can relate to.

  • We can work with you to develop your 3-5 year strategic plan for education and training.

  • We can help you implement the plan by sourcing funding and training, by providing professional development for management and trainers, and by providing induction programs for employees.

  • We undertake some background research of government research and reports for your workforce, and also discuss industry needs with key stakeholders.

  • We develop surveys to distribute to management, stakeholders and staff, and conduct interviews with identified key people inside and maybe out side your organization.

  • We analyse the results, provide you and your Council or stakeholders with a written and verbal report, and a set of recommendations.

Our backgrounds in education and training, government and industry ensure you get the best quality service, and can tap into our large knowledge networks. We can also source and work with other services for you including comprehensive evaluations conducted by fully qualified consultants with impressive government and industry experience.


We have worked with many clients on specialist aspects of workforce development including the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (Vic Branch).
