Challenges

Framework

- Add replacement hiring for attrition.
- Size recruiting capacity and budget.
- Sequence hiring across the periods.
- Re-forecast on a cadence.
Workforce considerations

- Translate growth into gross hires.
- Size capacity for each period.
- Plan for peaks within the trend.
Risk considerations
- Falling behind if attrition is ignored.
- Over-hiring if growth slows.
- Capacity and budget under-sized.
- Quality slipping as volume rises.
Operational recommendations
- Use the growth and volume tools each cycle.
- Keep a rolling, re-forecast plan.
- Use partners to flex with the curve.
- Tie the plan to budget and owners.
