Workforce requirements

Operational considerations

  • Use staffing partners for the launch surge.
  • Plan productive capacity per shift.
  • Hold a bench for slipped dates.

Workforce sourcing model

  • Decide in-house versus partner-led delivery.
  • Use staffing partners for volume and peaks.
  • Use recruitment partners for skilled and permanent roles.
  • Cross-border sourcing where local supply is tight.
