As part of the review of people management coverage in SFIA, it is proposed that descriptions for Resourcing RESC are refocused to exclude workforce planning aspects; and that these aspects are to be covered in a new "Workforce planning" skill. This implements proposals detailed in Change Request #68
RESC has a combination of elements that prevent the skill being recognised as relevant to roles that actually have some responsibility for resourcing. This problem is addressed by taking out clauses that describe workforce planning and covering these in a separate skill.
