Workforce plan (FTE needed)
Turn forecast workload into the headcount needed, and the gap to today.
People & organisationHow it's worked out
- FTE = workload ÷ (productive hours × (1 − shrinkage))
- Productive hours exclude holidays; shrinkage covers other non-productive time
NoteRefresh the workload forecast each quarter. A gap above zero means hire, automate or reduce scope.
