MHA Workforce Tool Project Place picture here January 2012
The Creation of the MHA Workforce Tool 2008: MHA Board approved developing a tool to help members better plan workforce needs MHA hires the services of Towers Watson (TW) 38 health care positions and up to 14 attributes are collected from members Participating members can view summaries of current data and projections of future needs Continued participation in the tool provides participants valuable trending information 2012 Updates 4th annual report Retirement Age has been changed from 55 to 62 A glossary has been added to the tool
Benefits of the Tool Workforce Analytics: provides detailed analytics of current year data and allows for MHA benchmarking Workforce Projections: provides projection of workforce demographics based on current year data and built-in assumption set Scenario Planning: allows projection of workforce demographics based on individual scenario customization Workforce External Market: provides labor market data and assesses the availability of talent nationwide
Workforce Analytics (Example) This chart demonstrates the percentages of RNs that have less than 5 years of service and are considered at-risk. This information can help members determine where a retention program may be needed, for example. Similar charts can be created for staff at-risk of retirement.
Workforce Scenario Planning (Example) This chart shows the projected RN workforce supply for one organization based on a 15% yearly headcount increase. Each member selects the percent increase they would like to calculate and then can view how many new hires will be needed each year to reach that goal. Besides headcount, assumptions can be edited for turnovers, pay, hiring constraints and new hire profile.
