Workforce planning (PMO) is a set of activities to assess the demand and supply of labour. It allows the institution to assess human resource needs quantitatively and qualitatively over the short, medium and long term. It is usually linked to the budget process and focuses mainly on vacancies, hiring forecasts and internal needs projections.

A first PMO exercise will be carried out at the CHUB during the year 2020 and will have to be updated once a year starting the first week of October each year by the Director of Human Resources (DHR). The results of this process will feed into the decision-making process for internal or external recruitment.
