Hiring Plan

The Hiring Plan report displays the projected number of employees required to be at each hiring stage to meet required staffing levels during the identified time frame.

• The human resources displayed in this report are configured on the Manage strategic resources page.
• In order to run this report, you must already have a strategic forecast generated for the service queue.
• The current resource count from the Strategic Resources page is used as the starting point in the report.
• The attrition value you enter as part of the report request is applied to the current resource count. The difference between this computed value and the forecasted resource requirement for the month in the hiring plan is the resource gap that needs to be filled by the hiring plan.
• The attrition rate for each of the hiring steps is applied. Working backward from this figure, the required resource count at the beginning of each step is calculated.
