2.1.1 Workforce Planning
Workforce planning is to be considered at IMPLALA-PETROLEUM. According to Cascio,W,F & Aguinis,H (2011), “ workforce planning is concerned with anticipating individuals are available to meet specific staffing needs at some future time”. Therefore because of IMPALA-PETROLEUM’s vision, it shows that the company needs to plan for the future in terms of their workforce in order to maintain the standards. As discovered by Mathew the Human Resources Director that in coming years Africa was going to be affected in its supply of energy due to shortage of industry skills. Therefore because of this since IMPALA-PETROLEUM is into energy sector it is also bound to be affected. Therefore a workforce planning process is necessary in order to prevent the company from this shortage. Since IMPALA-PETROLEUM has over 50 employees it has to work on its current employees by devise an inventory of available knowledge,abilities,skills and experiences. It also has to forecasts the internal and external workforce supply and demand also formulating programs in order to meet predicted staffing needs.

I feel that the Duquesne Psychology program has helped me prepare for careers or graduate school in relevant fields, though there could be some improvements. As an individual who is interested in two fields, one being Integrated Marketing Communications, this leaves me with a lot of possible career paths after university. I am interested in graduate school, but feel as though I need to take some time off before pursing it. After I take this time off, I may pursue graduate school, which I feel that the department has helped me with through the course of university. Though I am scared and nervous of what the future may hold, I know that my time at Duquesne in the psychology curriculum has made me an excellent candidate for a career or graduate

A strategic management program is imperative for any successful business in today’s company environment. Organizations are willing to spend not only time, but also invest millions of dollars in the talent management programs because of the obvious benefits the programs create such as employment engagement, customer satisfaction, absenteeism, turnover, employee loyalty, and union avoidance.

I would be most interested in a career in health psychology though there’s an extensive learning process. It is important to understand the education or training requirements,skills,and talents needed salary and benefits offered and duties for a particular career when making this decision.
