From requests to a plan
Twelve requested positions become one leadership decision.
Department requests only become a staffing strategy when leaders can see the starting plan, total impact, and chosen tradeoffs together.

Bring department requests into one plan for review.
Staffing strategy gets harder when headcount, position budgets, and department requests are reviewed in separate files. Keep the plan connected from position setup through approval and reporting.

FTE and cost review
Start from the Operating Budget, then review requested positions, pay rates, department changes, and costs before approving them.
- Review FTE, headcount, assigned cost, and annualized position cost from connected position data.
- Use effective dates so future changes appear in the right planning period.
- Review reports by department, job code, fund, and other details your organization tracks.
Proposed-change planning
Prepare requests for hiring plans, reductions, reorganizations, new funding needs, and budget updates before changing the approved staffing plan.
- Compare proposed changes against the Operating Budget before committing changes.
- Review new positions, eliminations, reclassifications, FTE changes, pay changes, and adjustments together.
- Share request details and reports that finance, HR, operations, and leaders can review from the same plan.
HR frames the plan. Finance tests the cost. Leaders set direction.
Each team keeps its responsibility without maintaining a separate version of the staffing strategy.
