12 W O R K F O R C E R E S P O N S E P L A N Understand the volume of jobs/roles needed by location, factoring in the known investments in automation. Use external labour market data to determine whether there is a shortage of needed skills in their area Review existing staffing strategies and assess how sustainable these will be going forward, and what EVP is needed to sustain them (Line of Defence #1). See how internal demographics and diversity profile compares to the local market. Plan to make local jobs for local people, perhaps through apprenticeships, new talent pools, and partnerships with local education institutions (Line of Defence #2). Consider ways that productivity, automation and moving work may help decrease their workforce demand (Line of Defence #3 and #4). Having taken productive steps to fill workforce gaps from the UK-born population and permanent foreign born residents, then look to see how migration can help resolve remaining workforce gaps. 12
