What you'll build
What you will be able to do
Each lab ends with a concrete result that you build yourself and the checker confirms, cell by cell.
- Roll Quillbrook Software's headcount forward through 2026, department by department, and check that the company total adds up.
- Turn headcount into FTE for every department and work out how many people Customer Support must hire to cover next year's hours.
- Build the fully loaded annual cost of six roles, the number every hiring decision and headcount budget is based on.
- Turn eight planned hires into a quarterly cost plan, where each hire costs money only from the month they start.
- Add the expected leavers to the growth plan and find the real number of hires, the backfill share and the recruiters needed.
- Measure spans of control, flag departments with too many managers and size the management team for the target span.
- Derive next year's FTE demand per role from the business plan, compare it with the supply left after attrition and turn the gap into hires.
- Compare H1 people cost with the budget and split every variance into a headcount effect and a cost-per-head effect.
About this course
People are usually the largest cost line, and planning them well needs more than a list of open roles. This course builds a complete headcount plan. You roll headcount forward with hires, leavers and transfers, distinguish FTE from heads for part-time staff and calculate fully loaded cost per FTE including bonus, benefits, payroll taxes and equipment. A hiring plan prorates cost by start date and quarter, and attrition-driven backfill reveals how many people you really need to recruit. You examine span of control, layers and revenue per employee, project future demand from business drivers and split budget-versus-actual cost into volume and rate variances. For HR, FP&A and business leaders.
