Gain control over personnel costs with smart Workforce Planning

The right people, with the right skills, at the right time, at predictable costs — that’s what effective Workforce Planning is all about. For many organizations, personnel costs make up a significant part of total expenses. That’s why a solid financial plan for these costs is essential.

Workforce Planning goes beyond just FTEs and salaries. Think of factors like natural attrition, future salary developments, and rising social charges. These all influence your total personnel costs — and therefore deserve a place in your planning process.

At McCoy, we invest in both knowledge and tooling for Workforce Planning. We understand that HR planning is a specialty within the broader field of financial planning. Our approach? Back to basics. Do you really need to plan at the individual level? Or is it enough to steer by function groups per department? What are the key cost drivers in your organization?

Our approach: from explore to realize

Our projects begin with an Explore phase. We present a simple but powerful Workforce Planning setup, and then dive into these key questions:

• What does this look like in your organization?

• Does the model align with your reality?

• Are adjustments needed — or a completely new setup?

Whether you plan based on HR classifications or financial structures, we co-develop a model during the Realize phase that fits your organization. Not too complex, but accurate and practically applicable. Our experienced functional consultants work closely with HR and Finance, resulting in a planning model that provides insight into actuals, forecasts, budgets, and variances between planned and realized costs.
