Every engagement since 2011 started with a question, asked almost word for word by a workforce planning leader, an HR executive or a CEO. This is one of them:
“Who is our critical workforce?”
What the Question Really Asks
Which people and roles, if lost, would actually stop the business, as opposed to who is senior on the org chart.
How OXYGEN Answers
Criticality scored from scarcity, replacement time, business impact and concentration risk, not from hierarchy, then tracked as populations shift.
