Manage and plan your headcount successfully

A company is nothing without its people. So how do you make sure you have the right number of people — with the right skills — in seat?

Workforce planning is the engine that helps you align business goals with personnel needs. It helps you forecast your headcount needs, anticipate retirements, manage skill gaps, and make sure you’re maximizing available resources.

A workforce planning template guides you through collecting data, analyzing spreadsheets, and shaping development plan decisions. In this guide, you’ll get three specialized templates: strategic planning, gaps analysis, and transition management.
