Describe the circumstances appropriate to deviating from such a plan or justifying a different path than that planned. Discuss concrete strategies, including metrics and milestones, that can be used by the Department of Human Resources to add rigor in achieving this balance while meeting long-term corporate goals for the organization’s overall needs.
