ABSTRACT
Demographics literaly means a statistical data obout any given section of the population.
Demographics study includes data and information about the gender ratio, language,
color, race, beliefs, education and economic conditions of the population. In
organizations today it is very difficult to employee a workforce of the same origin, same
calibre, and competece. So thre is system being evolved by the experts to deal with the
diversed workforce in the organizationas. Human resource management includes the
studies of various fields related to the working or managing the workforce. Diversty in
workforce is a very common phenomenon in todays business world and to manage this
diversed workforce we need and require demographical data and demographical
management trainings and tools.
Managers, especially of the multinational organizations are very much in front with the
issues of the diversed workforce in their organizations. Demographics data of the
workforce in an organization means the data and information related to these:
1- Total volume of workforce.
2- Age statistics.
3- Gender statistics
4- Qualification statistics
5- Required volume of future workforce
6- Prediction of the furure workforce
7- Cultural and ethnic diversity in workforce
8- Training & development of employees
In this study we have discussed briefly the demographics of workforce and its
management in general and with a specific reference of the COCA COLA BEVERAGES
PAKISTAN Ltd. I am sure that this effort of mine will be a source of knowledge for all
of us.

INTRODUCTION OF ORGANIZATION BUSINESS SECTOR
There are four key economic business sectors:
Primary sector: - Engaged in raw material extraction such as mining and farming.
Secondary sector: - Involves refining, construction and manufacturing.
Tertiary sector: - Deals with services such as law and medicine and distribution of manufactured goods
Quaternary sector: - Relatively new type of knowledge industry focuses on technological research, design and development such as computer programming and biochemistry.
According to the above scenario, CCBPL falls in the secondary sector as the main function of CCBPL is manufacturing soft drinks to refreshes its customers.

Introduction
Internationally:
Coca-Cola laid the foundation of the beverage industry when it was formed in May 1886
in Atlanta. However it was not until 1895 that the idea of selling coke in bottles was
introduced. With the passage of time Coca-Cola gained popularity and its product began
to get recognized internationally. Thus from its mere beginning in 1886 Coca-Cola has
now been transformed into a strong multinational with its product being currently
recognized all over the world. Coca-Cola, in fact, has now become one of the most
famous and widely consumed brands in the world. It has not only established its footings
in the beverage industry but is currently heading the list of the most financially sound
companies in the world
Pakistan:
The Coca-Cola Company is a global company with some of the world's most widely
recognized brands, the Coca-Cola business in Pakistan has completed its 50 years of

INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC
Demographics are the quantifiable statistics of a given population. Demographics is also used to identify the study of quantifiable subsets within a given population which characterize that population at a specific point in time.
These types of data are used widely in public opinion polling and marketing. Commonly examined demographics include gender, age, ethnicity, knowledge of languages, disabilities, mobility, home ownership, employment status, and even location. Demographic trends describe the historical changes in demographics in a population over time (for example, the average age of a population may increase or decrease over time). Both distributions and trends of values within a demographic variable are of interest. Demographics are very essential about the population of a region and the culture of the people there.
The growing number of older workers presents distinct challenges. The fifty years and older age group is the fastest growing segment of the workforce. As this generation leaves the workforce there will be fewer employees to replace them.
The immediate challenge for the University is to determine and implement strategies to:
employ and retain retirement-age workers through
flexible work arrangements, salary/benefit incentives
and developmental opportunities,
develop practices to assist the transition of staff to
retirement, and
Replace the skills, knowledge and capabilities that
may be lost from the workforce.
10
[COCA-COLA BEVERAGES PAKISTAN LTD ]
To prevent significant job/University knowledge loss, local areas must implement knowledge management programs to capture and facilitate transfer of difficult to replace intellectual capital
Short Term Strategy - Retention of Key Talent
The University must focus on retaining employees with special expertise, key relationships or hard to replace skills. Flexibility is the most attractive retention strategy for an ageing workforce. A number of options are available:
Flexible arrangements
Phased retirement
Pre-separation contracts
Training opportunities should be considered that provide work/life balance information. Skill development programs to support specific skill sets through coaching, special assignments and mentoring should also be considered.
Long Term Strategy – Knowledge Capture and Transfer
Knowledge Capture
Local areas must consider implementation of knowledge management practices to capture and disseminate the acquired functional and technical expertise of retirees. In an effort to capture specific knowledge in order to transfer difficult to replace knowledge to remaining employees several options are available:
Performance Management Reviews – capture the
requirement to transfer critical skills and knowledge.
Technology – memory banks can be created to
record critical and valuable information.
Mentoring younger staff.
.
Changing workforce demographics may pose challenges for small
businesses. Some experts believe that businesses face increased rates
of younger and older workers, as workers in the middle age range
11
[COCA-COLA BEVERAGES PAKISTAN LTD ]
decline. Managers may experience increased training and
compensation costs for younger and older workers, respectively, which
affects solvency and profitability. A growing international labor force is
another factor that may affect companies. Changing demographics
have a direct impact on business models and strategies
Training and Education Expenses
Older workers also take proprietary skills and certifications with them when they retire. Young adults receive general career training from universities and colleges. However, many companies must still develop in-house training programs run by qualified instructors that prepare employees for a specific job task. Small business managers who have limited budgets may not have the staffing or financial resources to conduct these seminars. An untrained workforce can slow down or halt business operations. Also, some tasks are too hazardous or critical to allow employees to have on-the-job training. In many cases, workers need a type of state certification before being allowed to perform job duties. For example, a small electrical company may need to ensure all contractors.
Phased Retirement
Phased retirement enables organizations to retain required skills whilst enabling mature workers to develop outside interests. Rather than going from full-time work to retirement the staff member eases out of employment by way of reducing the number of hours worked, or by reducing the responsibilities through other means. It can also include the practice of vacating a present position in the University’s structure and becoming a flexible resource within the organization, perhaps in a project or mentoring capacity.
A robust Performance Management Plan is required to support any phased retirement initiative. The focus should be on identifying potential work processes related to physical capability and the effective design of work roles to utilize the staff member’s skills and experience. Management of the culture and support from other staff is required to ensure mature workers relinquish their former position with comfort and dignity, as the transfer of skills and knowledge and the retraining of mature staff is undertaken.
Prior to changing their working conditions, the impact on the retiree’s superannuation
benefit must be considered by the retiree. As the individual University superannuation funds are governed by separate Trust Deeds, different rules will apply to the retiree’s future superannuation benefit. It is advised that the retiree contact the University’s Superannuation Officer and the retiree should also be encouraged to seek financial advice.
12
[COCA-COLA BEVERAGES PAKISTAN LTD ]
Pre-separation contracts
Through the workforce planning process, the University may identify an opportunity to conclude a continuous position in the future, or a continuing staff member may apply to
separate from the University by entering into a pre-separation contract. Opportunities to enter into a pre-separation contract provide managers and staff with employment flexibility.
Examples may be when it has been identified that an area or program has a limited life cycle, where an area is undergoing or planning managing change or to enable career management and succession planning opportunities.
A pre-separation contract is one in which a staff member elects to alter their employment relationship from continuing status to a single, non-renewable fixed term contract for a period of up to five years. In return for opting for a fixed term appointment, the staff member shall receive a salary loading on their annual base salary.
As with phased retirement, the staff member should contact the University’s Superannuation Officer or their superannuation fund to discuss the impact of their superannuation entitlements.
Steps in Workforce Planning
There are five fundamental activities that make up a Workforce Plan:
Environment Scan Current Workforce Profile
Future Workforce View
Analysis and Targeted Future
Closing the gaps
SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
Managing workplace diversity can strengthen work teams.
Diversity in the workplace encompasses a range of elements. Differences in national origin, primary language, religion, social status and age can benefit or harm
13
[COCA-COLA BEVERAGES PAKISTAN LTD ]
organizations. Managing diversity effectively is the key to leveraging the advantages and minimizing the disadvantages of diversity in the workplace.
Diverse Experience
Co-workers with diverse cultural backgrounds bring unique experiences and perceptions to the table in groups and work teams. Pooling the diverse knowledge and skills of culturally distinct workers together can benefit companies by strengthening teams' productivity and responsiveness to changing conditions. Each employee in a diverse workplace possesses unique strengths and weaknesses derived from their culture in addition to their individuality. When managed properly, diversity in the workplace can leverage the strengths and complement the weaknesses of each worker to make the impact of the workforce greater than the sum of its parts.
Learning And Growth
Another advantage of workplace diversity is the opportunity for employees' personal growth. Being exposed to new ideas, cultures and perspectives can help individuals to reach out intellectually and gain a clearer view of their surroundings and their place in the world. Spending time with culturally diverse co-workers can slowly break down the subconscious barriers of ethnocentrism and xenophobia, encouraging employees to be more well-rounded members of society.
WEAKNESSES
Communication Issues
Diversity impacts workplace communication in positive and negative ways. Between co-workers, diversity can place impediments in the way of effective communication, which can directly dampen productivity and the cohesiveness of small groups. Spending time with diverse employees can break down communication barriers over the long-term, but first impressions and co-workers' orientation periods can be difficult to control when cultures clash. Diversity can strengthen your company's relationships with specific customer groups by making communication more effective. Customer service representatives can be paired up with customers from their specific demographic, making the customer feel comfortable with the representative, and thus with the company. A number of companies in the southwest United States, for example, prefer to hire bi-lingual customer service reps to deal with Spanish-speaking customers in their native language.
14
[COCA-COLA BEVERAGES PAKISTAN LTD ]
Integration Issues
Social integration at work can only be influenced to a small degree. The formation of cliques and exclusive social groups is a natural process that can be impossible to control at times. Because of this, companies can experience informal divisions in their staff, creating a situation where culturally diverse employees avoid exposure to each other during break times and after work. Although there is nothing fundamentally wrong with this scenario, it can hinder the effectiveness of sharing knowledge, skills and experience, thus curbing productivity growth and the effectiveness of teams
OPPORTUNITIES
– Providing reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities
– Promoting a nondiscriminatory workplace environment
– Top-management commitment and rewards for the support of diversity are
critical ingredients for the success of diversity management initiatives
– Distributive Justice
– A moral principle calling for the distribution of pay raises, promotions, job
titles, interesting job assignments, office space, and other organizational
resources to be based on meaningful contribution that individuals have
made and not personal characteristics over which they have no control.
– Procedural Justice
– A moral principle calling for the use of fair procedures to determine how
to distribute outcomes to
organizational
members.
THREATS
15
[COCA-COLA BEVERAGES PAKISTAN LTD ]
In coming years, corporations will face two categories of demographic risk: risks having
to do with retiring employees and risks having to do with aging employees. Both require
creative forethought and active management.
Retiring employees.
When a worker retires, you lose someone to do a job and the accumulated knowledge and
expertise that this person takes out the door with him. If many people are retiring and they’re
difficult to replace, your organization faces what we call capacity risk—a potentially diminished
ability to carry out the company’s business of making a product or offering a service.
Take RWE, Europe’s third-largest energy utility, a company we’ve worked with on assessing and
managing demographic risk. The publicly traded German utility, which in 2006 had annual sales
of €44 billion and more than 70,000 employees, restructured several times over the past decade.
The power generation and mining division, RWE Power, for example, basically cut its workforce
in half between 1992 and today. Until recently, the company was encouraging older workers to
leave under large-scale early retirement schemes.
PRACTICAL STUDY OF THE ORGANIZATION
We discussed the topic demographic workforce and its management in general context.
Now we will discuss the topic with the specific reference of our study of the organization.
I selected the COCA COLA BEVERAGES PAKISTAN Ltd as my study field; it is a

Workforce is the main part of an organization, if we consider management as the brain; workforce is the heart of an organization. To run the business smoothly in an organization, the workforce should be efficient and well trained.
Workforce demographics provide the valuable data to the mangers and policy makers in an organization for the planning, forecasting and improving its human resource and to upgrade and enhance the workforce efficiency.
As the world is changing, trends in business and in human resource management are also changing. Companies are turning into organizations and into multinational corporations.
So, to keep our place firm in this growing business world we have to utilize the new technologies and must frame our policies according to the new trends in managing human resource and workforce.
