How confident are you that your workforce has the right skills, capacity, and availability to deliver what's coming next? Retain connects workforce strategy with everyday resource planning, bringing skills, capacity, and demand together so you can spot gaps early, plan ahead, and make smarter workforce decisions. Every project, staffing decision, and emerging skills gap then gives you fresh intelligence to feed back into your workforce strategy.
Resource management gives you a clearer picture of what’s happening on the ground. Which skills are in demand? Where are capacity gaps emerging? And why do the same specialists keep getting overbooked?
Retain connects skills, capacity, demand, and resource allocation in one place, giving you the real-world intelligence to make smarter strategic workforce planning decisions.
Demand doesn’t stand still. And neither does your workforce. Retain helps you see where capacity is tightening, where workloads need rebalancing, and whether you’ll have the resources to meet future demand.
Job titles only tell you so much. Retain Skills+ gives you a clearer picture of the capabilities across your workforce, helping you uncover hidden expertise, identify skills gaps and make more informed decisions about future workforce needs.
Strategic workforce planning (SWP) helps organisations understand the people, skills, and capabilities they'll need to meet future business goals. It brings together workforce data, business forecasts, and skills intelligence to help leaders make smarter decisions about hiring, developing, and deploying talent.
Your workforce strategy needs a steady stream of reliable data. Resource management provides it. By tracking skills, availability, capacity, and resource demand, organisations can see where talent is being stretched, which capabilities are in short supply and where future workforce gaps might emerge. This gives strategic workforce planners better information to work with.
Strategic workforce planning looks ahead at the people and capabilities an organisation will need to achieve its goals. Resource planning focuses on matching available people and skills to current and upcoming work. The two are closely connected. Resource planning generates valuable insights that help organisations refine their longer-term workforce strategy.
You can't plan for future skills needs without a clear picture of the capabilities you already have. Skills intelligence helps organisations identify existing expertise, assess proficiency, uncover skills gaps and understand where development or recruitment may be needed. Retain Skills+ brings this information into resource planning, helping businesses make better use of their workforce.
Retain connects skills intelligence, workforce capacity planning, resource demand and resource allocation in one platform. With greater visibility into people's skills, availability and deployment, organisations can identify capacity constraints, anticipate skills shortages and make more informed workforce decisions. It also helps resource teams match people to suitable work, so workforce strategy stays connected to day-to-day delivery.
