Introduction:
The importance of the strategic workforce planning is pretty prominent amongst the
companies working in the today’s world of business. As the sustainability of the business
actions of the companies is largely dependent on the efficient planning of the workforces, the
necessity faced by the modern managers in formulating their workforces in a professional
manner is observed to be notably high (De Bruecker et al. 2015). The study includes a
detailed scanning of the labour and employment market of Australia and at the same time, the
study analyses the demands and supply of the labour in the mentioned nation. The study is
based on a specific organization of Australia named as Community Vision. The study
provides a brief overview of the organization and the activities that it conducts. With a
precise consideration to the business action of the selected company, the study analyses the
current and future challenges that the organization is subjected to, in relation to the workforce
of the organization.
Background of the Organization:
Community Vision is developed with a unique idea which is to provide the desired
support to each and every individual when they are experiencing vulnerable situations. The
organization believes that it is their responsibility to assist the general people in leading their
life in a table manner. The vision statement of the organization is pretty significant in stating
the urge of the company in developing a more connected and stronger community in
Australia. At the same time, the mission statement of the company is accurate in taking pride
of being the most trust service providers for the people of Australia (Communityvision.asn.au
2020). At the same time, the mission statement of the company highlights their urge in

Considering the core values associated with the business actions of the companies, it
is prominence of innovation, empowerment, inclusiveness, boldness, accountability and
respectfulness is evident (Communityvision.asn.au 2020). The organizational culture of
Community Vision is pretty significant in demonstrating their excellence, accountability and
passion for supporting the general individuals in living their lives (Communityvision.asn.au
2020).
Environmental Scanning:
With a detailed focus on the Australian labour and employment market, it is
understandable that the urge amongst the general employees in participating in the
community services, is one of the strong motivators for the increasing number of entry of the
community organizations. With a look at the labour and employment market, it is visible that
the companies face considerable amount of ease in recruiting professionals for their
organizations. With a precise consideration towards the political context and the cultural
preferences of the Australian society, it is evident that the society is strongly individualistic in
nature. The citizens of the nation have a general tendency of considering about the issues and
opportunities of themselves and their immediate families. As a result, the society scores
considerably high in the “Individualism” cultural dimension (Gearin 2015). According to the
comments of Gearin (2015), the high score of the nation in the aspect of the “Individualism”
is pretty significant in stating the low impact of the unionization on the labour and
employment market and on the companies operating in Australia.
Considering employment market environment, it is obvious that the country has
achieved greater success in increasing the number of employment over the years. The score
of Australia in the Human Development Index is seen to be notably high. The nation is
currently scoring 0.938 in the Human Development Index and that places the country in the

5STRATEGIC HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
6th position in the list of the same (Hdr.undp.org. 2020). With a precise look at the concept of
the Human Development Index, Kummu, Taka and Guillaume (2018) claimed that it
elaborates the position of a country in terms of various parameters such as the Life
Expectancy, Per Capita Income Indicators and Education. With a look at the positioning of
Australia in the mentioned index, it is visible that the country has certainly achieved a
substantial growth in the per capita income indicators and the growth of employment in the
nation is one of reason that is influencing the success of the nation in the same. As a result, it
is understandable that there are ample numbers of employees available in the labour market
of the nation.
On the other hand, the substantial growth in the Human Development Index of the
nation clearly highlights the increment in the literacy rate of the nation. The increment in the
literacy rate of the nation is pretty significant in stating the availability of the potent and
skilled employees in Australian labour market (Hdr.undp.org. 2020). In addition to this, the
increment in the literacy rate advocates regarding the ability of the Australian employees in
managing the technological gadgets and the innovative solutions in a professional manner
which provides them considerable amount of ease in managing their operational activities in
today’s world of business. Hence, it is understandable that the environment of the Australian
labour and employment market is pretty stable.

the selected organization, Community Services, it becomes important to analyse the services
that the organization offers to their customers. The organization is seen to have the expertise

Other than this, the organization has the expertise in providing assistance to the
customers in managing their education and employment in a lot more effective manner
(Communityvision.asn.au. 2020). Apart from this, the organization helps in the efficient
engagement of the community. Hence, the array of services that the organization provides to
their citizens of Australia is pretty prominent. As a result, the company requires considerable
number of general employees with certain amount of social education along with some
important personal skills such as good communicator, efficient manager, sensible, quality
monitor of the customer’s activities, capable of providing them the desired company and the
ability of motivating them for the desired achievement of their optimum goal
(Communityvision.asn.au. 2020). On the other hand, the selected organization, Community
Services, is seen to have a good reputation of providing quality services to their customers
and applies a comparatively low pricing policy for their services. Hence, the demands of the
services of the company are seen to increase in a notable manner in recent years and that
places the organization in a position where they feel the necessity of expanding their
workforce.

that highlights the substantial supply of labour demands in the nation.

gone done in a noteworthy manner. In the year 2014, Australian society was seen to be
affected by an unemployment rate of as high as 6.06% (Statista.com 2020). However, the
continuous growth of the economy and simultaneous social development influenced the
nation in achieving a glorious reduction in the rate of unemployment. In the 2017, the
government of Australia was able to reduce the rate of unemployment to 5.58% (Statista.com

unemployment is expected to continue and that was visible with the rate of unemployment to

in the year 2024 and that certainly highlights a substantial increment in the number of
employment to be achieved in recent years (Statista.com 2020).
With a precise look at the business actions of Community Services and the area in
which it services, the availability of the efficient employees is expected to be substantial.
