CPSISC is committed to promoting positive Workforce development activities for the Construction and Property Services Industries. CPSISC sees Workforce Development as a holistic concept that integrates the following three key areas:
· Workforce Planning and Analysis 
· Human Resource Management
· Workforce Capability Development
By addressing these three areas, industry can align workforces to current and future business demands, and by doing so strengthen possibilities for organisational success.

You can also contribute to the development process, and we urge you to do that - broad input from our industries is vital if we are to devise a useful strategy.

Workforce planning and analysis
The workforce planning process involves forecasting your business’s future skill requirements and establishing how you will attract, develop and retain people with those skills.
Workforce planning will assist your business to respond to changes in the demand and supply of labour, and ensure that your business is staffed to meet future challenges. As a result, your business will be better placed to attract and retain employees in a tight labour market, have higher productivity and profitability and improved quality of product and service.
For a workforce planning process to be effective, it should be integrated into the organisation’s strategic plan and updated regularly to meet an ever changing environment.
Human resource management
Human resource management is a strategic approach to the management of people in order to enhance individual and organisational performance. An effective human resource management system can assist in reducing high staff turnover, industrial disputes, breaches of legislation, unfair dismissal claims, poor customer service, loss of business and more. A human resource management system linked to your business goals and objectives will assist in maximising the potential of your business and your people.
Workforce capability development
Workforce capability development relates to the development of the ‘whole-of-organisation’. It includes such things as developing effective systems, processes, values, initiatives and enablers that support individuals and teams in taking responsibility for their own learning as well as the capacity to share their knowledge with others in the organisation.
Workforce Development is not a standalone process or system. An effective approach must be integrated within business practices and incorporate an analysis of the organisations current and possible future operations. It should include ongoing monitoring of the environment, workforce issues and organisational strategies.
