Seasonal staffing is decided too late and costs more than it should. This forecasts the extra hours from last year and works recruitment backwards from when they are needed.
What's Included
- Extra hours forecast from last year real demand.
- Recruitment dated backwards from when people must be productive.
- Training time included because day one is not full productivity.
- An assistant that flags recruitment now at risk.
How To Use
- Forecast from last year's actual hours, not from how it felt.
- Work backwards from the date people must be productive, not from their start date.
- Include training time. Nobody is fully productive on day one.
- Compare the cost of overtime against the cost of extra people.
Roster them with the rota scheduler, and cost it with the employee cost calculator.
