FAQ

1. What’s the difference between workforce planning and regular headcount planning?

Headcount planning looks at numbers. Workforce planning goes deeper—aligning skills, roles, and business needs over time.

2. Do you provide hiring plans?

Yes. We outline phased hiring needs and redeployment strategies aligned to your budget and business goals.

3. How far ahead do you plan?

Typically 12–24 months, but we can extend scenarios to 3–5 years depending on business priorities.

4. Does this service include recruitment execution?

No. We provide the blueprint and recommendations. Recruitment execution can be added separately.

5. Can this support cost reduction initiatives?

Yes. Many clients use workforce planning to optimize budgets, reduce redundancy, and identify reskilling opportunities instead of new hires.

6. Is this suitable for SMEs?

Absolutely. We design scalable models—lean for smaller teams, but expandable as you grow.

Document Requirements

To deliver an accurate workforce planning blueprint, we will require the following from the client:

• For workforce inventory: current employee list with roles, departments, and grades; workforce demographics (age, tenure, contract type); and attrition or turnover data.
• For demand drivers: business strategy and growth plans (12–24 months); revenue targets, expansion or downsizing plans; and hiring budget constraints.
• For skills & roles: competency frameworks (if available); list of critical skills/roles needed for future projects; and training or re-skilling programs currently in place.
• For scenario planning: organizational priorities (growth vs. cost optimization); external factors (market trends, industry regulations); and succession planning priorities.
• For reporting preferences: preferred forecasting period (12, 24, 36 months); dashboard style (detailed vs. summary); and format needs (English/Indonesian, management-ready decks).
