As business leaders finalize their 2026 strategic plans, there’s one critical piece many are overlooking: Your workforce strategy.
In this video, Claudia St. John, Founder & CEO of The Workplace Advisors, explains why today’s tight labor market makes workforce planning a strategic necessity, not just an HR task.
Despite economic uncertainty, unemployment remains around 4.2–4.3%, and the long-term outlook is even more concerning. By 2033, the U.S. is projected to have more deaths than live births, shrinking the available workforce even further. That means talent will remain one of your most valuable and scarce business resources.
In this video, Claudia challenges leaders to ask:
- Do we have a real workforce strategy, or are we just reacting?
- How are we approaching hiring, compensation, and retention?
- Are we developing employees—or letting them go too soon?
- Do we have a succession plan for leadership and management?
- Are we leveraging outsourcing, automation, or process redesign effectively?
- Are we investing enough in frontline supervisors, the #1 reason employees quit?
At The Workplace Advisors, we help organizations not only hire, but retain, develop, and plan for long-term workforce success.
