Workforce planning is prevalent and recognized as a good strategic practice in many organizations. However, business students may have little experience with workforce planning or workforce analytics. The purpose of this article is to present a workforce planning exercise for use in a face-to-face or online classroom setting. In this exercise, students practice applying workforce planning concepts to calculate internal employment data, find and collect external employment data, and combine multiple, sometimes conflicting, data to make workforce predictions and recommendations for a hypothetical organization. This exercise is designed to help students develop career-relevant skills and is intended for use in human resource management, talent acquisition, talent management, staffing, and/or selection classes.

Antenatal education influences knowledge and behavior which indirectly give impact to the health of mothers and children. In implementing several antenatal education methods, several countries have experienced some obstacles. AIM: The present study aimed to explore the implementation and problems of antenatal education in Denpasar Bali. METHODS: Descriptive qualitative exploration design was used in the study. The respondents were ten midwives in primary health-care clinics and private midwifery clinics in all districts of Denpasar city. The sample was selected using purposive sampling. Data analysis was using thematic approach by QSR Nvivo 12 Plus. RESULTS: The result of this study found two main themes; those were maternity class method and individual/face to face method. Midwives reported that on maternity class method the delivered information was felt more complete since it was in accordance with curriculum, pregnant women could hare with each other, and they could integrate with other professions. However, its weakness was low participation of pregnant women due to busyness. Meanwhile, face-to-face method had advantages since pregnant women felt free to express their personal problems and midwives could offer solutions for the identified problems during antenatal visits. Nevertheless, it has many disadvantages such as, very limited information was provided, problem with human resource management, time management, and pregnant women visitation management. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, both of antenatal education methods have advantages and disadvantges. Maternity class method is considered as a better method yet pregnant women participation to the class is relatively low. Face-to-face method is considered not comprehensive in delivering antenatal information as its problem with time management, human resource management, and patient management.

This study explores social and economic activities that promote ‘telework’ and its impact on human resource management in Japan. Telework had not been common in Japan’s workplaces, but the situation suddenly changed when the COVID-19 pandemic began to spread in 2020. The Japanese government issued the declaration of emergency and encouraged the commerce, industry, and other enterprises associations to introduce telework as a ‘new way of working’. To emphasize the characteristics of telework in Japan, the article observers research outcomes published recently. We argue that there is a difference between companies’ size and location and the level of their employees’ skills: telework has already been implemented in some major companies, while there is a marginal development in online work in rural areas and in small and medium-sized enterprises. A hybrid type of face-to-face and online communications emerged as the result. The article finds out the domains where Japanese corporations adopted telework and shows some changes and effects caused by telework in work styles and human resource management. In conclusion, we systematize the data in a respective research realm and classify the elements associated with artificial sociality.
