Staffing strategy software
Plan staffing, costs, budgets, and approvals from one position model.
FTE Tree helps HR, finance, and operations teams manage staffing strategy with shared position records, long-term forecast scenarios, budget planning, approval workflows, and reports.
Designed for the work behind the plan.
Staffing strategy gets harder when headcount, position budgets, and department requests are reviewed in separate files. FTE Tree keeps the plan connected from position setup through multi-year forecasting, budget review, and reporting.
-

Build long-term forecasts before decisions become commitments.
FTE Tree treats forecasting and scenario planning as core staffing strategy workflows, not as side spreadsheets that drift away from position control.
Long-term FTE and cost forecasting
Start from the Operating Budget, then look beyond today by modeling future staffing capacity, wage assumptions, schedule changes, department movement, and cost impact across budget cycles.
- Forecast FTE, headcount, incumbent cost, and annualized position cost from connected position data.
- Use effective-dated assumptions so future changes land in the right planning period.
- Review forecast output by department, job code, fund, and other reporting dimensions.
Scenario planning for staffing decisions
Create planning scenarios for hiring plans, reductions, reorganizations, new funding requests, annual budgets, and multi-year workforce plans before updating the approved staffing plan.
- Compare proposed scenarios against the Operating Budget before committing changes.
- Model new positions, eliminations, reclassifications, FTE changes, wage changes, and adjustments together.
- Turn scenario results into reports that finance, HR, operations, and leadership can review from the same plan.
Keep HR, finance, and managers aligned.
FTE Tree connects position control, staffing strategy, approvals, scenarios, and reporting so teams can make near-term staffing decisions and long-term budget plans from the same source of truth.
