Human Capital Planning: Aurora University Workshop May 28

AURORA, Ill.—“Human Capital Planning,” a free business workshop, will be presented by Aurora University’s Human Resources Institute from 8 to 9 a.m. on Wednesday, May 28, in the University Banquet Hall at Alumni Hall, 1410 Marseillaise Place in Aurora.

The public is invited. Networking and refreshments are at 7:30 a.m.

The guest speaker is Aaron Sorensen , senior consultant with Sibson Consulting in Chicago.

He said, “Traditional workforce planning may not provide the insights needed to get the right people in the right place at the right time.

“Human capital planning is a focused and rigorous workforce planning methodology. Organizations can use it to effectively forecast, analyze and manage their people assets to ensure that they have the right number, type and quality of talent they need to execute their organization strategies.”

Sorensen will review the process, analytical tools and case studies of clients who have used it to improve workforce planning.

His experience includes serving global organizations and working with manufacturing and innovation-based companies. Sorensen earned a master’s degree in industrial organization psychology from DePaul University, Chicago, and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Iowa. He is completing his doctorate in industrial organization psychology.
