Participants will need a laptop to play the game, but may share one laptop between two people if necessary.

The SWP Games is a dynamic and immersive session designed to sharpen your Strategic Workforce Planning expertise. In this gamified simulation, participants will step into the role of workforce planners tasked with balancing workforce costs, maintaining adequate supply, and maximizing revenue opportunities over a five-year timeline.

The game replicates the complexity of real-world planning by requiring participants to:

• Develop annual workforce plans to meet shifting demand profiles.
• Utilize decision-making levers to address critical workforce gaps.
• Strike the optimal balance between cost efficiency and strategic growth.

You’ll analyze data, adapt to changing scenarios, and make strategic decisions to outscore your peers. Along the way, you’ll gain insights into how small adjustments in strategy can lead to significant business impacts. Will your workforce plan lead to success—or missed opportunities?
