Find out how you can use Silico to generate foresight and find optimal solutions for better workforce planning under uncertainty
Workforce Planning continues to be one of the most challenging aspects of running a business. Individual component metrics, such as budgetary capacity, client growth, hiring lifecycle, and training schedules, are easy to measure and well understood. However, making any reliable predictions on which to base decisions is notoriously difficult.
The main challenge for Workforce Planning is that several different factors combine to make staying ahead of hiring needs complicated. To add to the complexity, some of these variables are related, for example, when business is good it may be that the marketplace in general is buoyant, lengthening hiring lifecycles just when you want to hire.
The answer to the challenges of Workforce Planning is the type of advanced analytics platform that Sheetless provides. Sheetless provides the ability to model complexity using a simple tool set that handles multiple layers. The graphical interface makes it easy to establish how different parts of Workforce Planning are related and can also parameterise each metric to explore sensitivities.

Workforce Planning can be thought of as the relationship between talent supply and talent demand. These are like two taps that flow are different speeds at different times, causing floods and droughts when not well managed. Having a model that helps you turn these taps on and off in a virtual world helps to make better hiring plans in the real world.
