- Abstract
Agility research mainly considers the agile workforce from an operations perspective. To date, a majority of research on workforce agility has focused on the speed and flexibility from an operations perspective, while studies on the attributes of agile workforce are lacking. Very few studies have been done on management actions that can promote workforce agility. The present paper addresses this research gap by exploring the attributes of an agile workforce and identifying the management practices capable of promoting workforce agility. An extensive survey of the available literature has been made to explore the attributes and facilitators of workforce agility, and therefore, the study is conceptual in nature. The findings reveal that an agile workforce is adaptive, flexible, developmental, innovative, collaborative, competent, fast and informative in nature. The study also explores the management actions on training, compensation, empowerment, teamwork, and Information Systems (IS) which promote workforce agility.
