Case Study: an Australian multi-utility company accelerates strategic workforce planning to reach net zero with eQ8

Australian Multi-Utility Company Chooses eQ8 to Enable Workforce Readiness to Meet Net Zero Emissions

An Australian multi-utility company faced the challenge of transitioning its workforce to meet a net-zero emissions target by 2045 amid a structural market shift towards electrification. This required a significant capability shift, as a skills gap was identified in ten critical areas necessary to achieve their $31m projected return. The company engaged eQ8 to implement a strategic workforce planning (SWP) solution to forecast future needs and align its workforce composition with these new strategic objectives.

eQ8 delivered a solution that accelerated the company's SWP maturity through targeted training and by embedding workforce planning into broader business processes. Using its technology, eQ8 identified high-risk roles and enabled data-backed planning. As a result, the multi-utility company is now positioned to close its identified skills gaps, achieving a projected return of $31 million within three years if the recommended actions are fully implemented.
