Case Study: a global humanitarian organization balances prevention and response with eQ8

Global Humanitarian Organization Balances Prevention and Lifesaving Response with eQ8

A global humanitarian organization faced a significant challenge in balancing its dual mandates of prevention and emergency response, which had major implications for the size and shape of its workforce. Operating in over 120 countries with a decentralized structure, the organization had no prior experience with strategic workforce planning (SWP) and needed to prepare for an uncertain future. They partnered with the vendor eQ8 to address this.

eQ8 provided its strategic workforce planning platform and services to bring clarity to the organization's talent needs. Through scenario modeling, eQ8 helped create a global view of future workforce demand, which enabled strategic discussions and alignment. The results included a 14% reduction in identified workforce demand and the identification of 21 critical growth skills needed across the organization, future-proofing their operations.
