Workforce Planning is having the right number of people with the right job knowledge and skills working in an organization in the right jobs at the right time. Succession Planning identifies necessary competencies and works to assess, develop, and retain a talent pool of employees in order to ensure a continuity of leadership for all critical positions.

Workforce Planning Best Practices Guide

Workforce plans are the foundation upon which other human resources management activities such as: recruitment, selection,orientation, training and retention, are built. This guide primarily focuses on two positions within the industry: bus operators who make up almost 70% of the workforce and mechanics/skilled trades who make up an additional 7%. It has been developed as a companion for and to complement other resource documents and tools that are available through the Bus Council of Canada.
