GenSync will: Provide clear analysis of current workforce trends and coming challenges
- Are there potential or pending gaps among workers 50+ that can be filled by younger staff within the time frame you’ll need the skill? Is your HR department aware of and planning for the projected needs of the older members of your workforce?
GenSync will: Propose five-year staffing plan reflecting current staffing cohorts and proposed (five-generation) staffing plan to sustain organizational goals
- What is the impact of your company’s current staffing investment?
GenSync will: Implement or strengthen the usage of human resource analytics in staffing decisions, to allow your company to remain competitive in staffing activities

- Is training a priority?
GenSync will: Review and update training and development capacity, planning and outcomes, emphasizing ROI for employee and employer

How we work
GenSync’s Mary Jo Schifsky will meet with you to clarify company’s staffing pinch-points.
And to answer these questions:
- How will you measure whether the work GenSync does enhances your bottom line?
- What’s the ROI needed to justify investing in a strategic staff planning process?
From that initial meeting, a proposal is created and presented and pricing is discussed. Upon agreement, a contract is signed and the work begun.
Specific activities that may be included in the proposal:
- Summary review of current workforce
- Proposed plan to optimize existing staffing resources
- Estimate of staffing and training investments needed to sustain organizational goals
- Source and recruit experienced workers, work-ready or in need of upskilling investment
- Access range of community resources (educators, service providers, State of MN, funders) to invest in training of new hires of workers 50+ or to upskill current 50+ employees.
- Enhance employer brand as older workers find successful employment in your company
- Establish, maintain and communicate metrics re effectiveness of initiative to all involved.
No surprises.
