IHS Fiscal Year 2024 – 2028 Human Capital Operating Plan

A well-managed and thriving workforce is critical to accomplishing the IHS mission. The IHS FY 2024-2028 Human Capital Operating Plan serves as a strategic roadmap for the numerous products, services, and human resources solutions that manage the life cycle of the IHS workforce. The Plan lays out three overarching goals and specific strategies to support the IHS mission and vision.
