A public school district's strategic plan puts early-literacy coaches at the center of student outcomes. Several HR administrative FTE are vacant, and the CHRO is being asked to refill them as they were. What should the CHRO do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
An org chart is not a museum piece. If the district's plan is literacy coaches and HR is sitting on empty admin seats, those FTE should move. Flex the structure to the strategy — do not defend last year's boxes.
Full Explanation
HR structure itself must flex to the strategy, not the reverse. Vacant administrative FTE are a reallocation opportunity when the adopted plan centers early-literacy coaches. Refilling the old chart, freezing for a leadership change, or inventing an off-plan analytics unit preserves or creates structure that does not execute the strategy. SPHR workforce planning treats those vacancies as fuel for the plan's critical classifications.
