Workforce planningPredictivePrescriptive

Purpose

Simulate workforce outcomes under alternate assumptions for planning decisions.

Business questions

  • What headcount do we need under growth vs freeze scenarios?
  • How does attrition change affect skills coverage?

Data required

  • Clean employee event history
  • Consistent definitions
  • Adequate sample size

The method

Build driver-based models with adjustable levers for demand, attrition, and hiring.

Example application

Model headcount and labor cost under 10% demand growth vs hiring freeze.

How to interpret it

Scenario ranges improve decision robustness versus single-point forecasts.

Limitations

Garbage-in from poor assumption governance; false precision.
