Workforce Planning

Workforce Planning ensures Delaware’s agencies have the right people, with the right skills, in the right roles, at the right time — supporting the Department of Human Resources (DHR) and agency leaders in achieving their goals and delivering results. Using data, trends, and employee feedback, our team helps agencies understand their current workforce, anticipate future needs, and develop strategies to stay ready and resilient. This includes planning for retirements, addressing hard-to-fill positions, and building the skills needed for tomorrow’s workforce. Effective workforce planning helps attract and retain talented employees, reduce turnover, and strengthen the State’s ability to deliver essential public services. By connecting people, data, and strategy, we promote innovation, ensure continuity, and drive the continued success of the State of Delaware.
