The pressure to optimise costs and maximise productivity is always there. Today, it’s made more complicated by disruptive technology, the increasing complexity of geopolitics, the constant tests of risk and regulation, and the ongoing race to find and keep the right talent with the right skills. These forces are reshaping the workplace and introducing new challenges that impact your whole organisation.
Making sure your workforce is ready for these uncertain times is essential to building trust in the marketplace. PwC’s community of solvers combines the breadth of strategic knowledge and hands-on implementation experience to help your business - and your people - adjust to change and thrive in an unpredictable world.
Shaping the future workforce and enabling talent is a priority for all organisations across all sectors, where achieving the right formulation of sizing, capabilities, shape, cost, and distribution is critical for organisational results and the future.
Our workforce strategies take evidence-based insights yielded through strategic workforce planning and analysis to identify initiatives and activities aimed at mitigating a potential workforce risk, addressing a talent gap, or drive a workforce priority to secure a future-fit workforce.
Using our in house developed Talent Forecast Tool, we help you align business and talent strategy, model projected demand against talent supply, and create plans to lessen gaps under a continual improvement approach.
Upskilling and talent development for a future-proof workforce is more important than ever.
Where having effective talent development programs in place is not a luxury, but rather a business imperative, establishing such programs is a multi-stage process that combines effective assessment techniques with the right frameworks and capabilities.
Our workforce development and capability assessment frameworks help determine current and future workforce capabilities the business needs, identify skills gaps and mismatches and workforce development opportunities and upskilling options.
We help you create workforce and leadership competencies models, build and administer fit-for-purpose assessment centres and establish and implement talent and leadership development programs, in addition to workforce upskilling and reskilling programs.

Attracting, engaging, unlocking talent potential and performance is not a coincidence, but a result of careful understanding, planning, and execution of well-thought strategy to create a seamless workforce experience. Shaping, delivering and sustaining such an experience is a result of finding the right balance between the organisational culture, strategy, and what attracts, motivates, and engages talent to drive the right behaviours and performance.
We help you shape your employer value proposition (EVP), improve employee experience (EX), and integrate these strategies with proven performance management frameworks that maximise the contribution of individuals and teams to the performance and culture of the organisation.
The strength of workforce experience & performance solutions is in our ability to integrate into a single solution that is backed-up by our access to global databases and benchmarking platforms in addition to methodologies and unique approaches.
Organisational design should be approached in a holistic manner that extends beyond shaping organisational structures and defining roles and responsibilities.
We understand that an effective organisational design consists of a group of interrelated elements that need to be integrated and aligned with organisational strategy and mandate to achieve the targeted objectives and drive the aspired results.
We help you reimagine your operating models, design your organisational structures and define your operational governance while embedding ESG principles and new ways of working to help you cope with the unprecedented times of organisational transition.
More than ever, organisations are being challenged to meet the talent demands to support their business growth. Investing in your employees is one of the most effective ways to attract and retain top talent.
We help you understand your people’s compensation and benefits needs; supporting you from the design to implementation of cost-efficient compensation and benefit plans, that are designed to support the attraction, engagement and retention of key talent, help drive individual and collective discretionary effort, and align reward, performance and business strategy.
Change management is the process of planning and implementing approved changes in the workplace.

We have a tailored approach for building internal change management capabilities within organisations – either as personal development or as permanent roles. We will co-create change strategies and plans to align, engage, enable and empower your people and reduce resistance to change.
