Staffing strategy software

Plan staffing, costs, requests, and approvals from one position model.

FTE Tree helps HR, finance, and operations teams manage staffing strategy with shared position records, proposed staffing changes, budget review, 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 request review, budget impact, approval, and reporting.

  1. 1

    Build the current staffing plan around funded positions.

  2. 2

    Prepare proposed position changes and review their cost and FTE impact.

  3. 3

    Review cost and FTE impact before approval.

  4. 4

    Export planning reports for finance, HR, and leadership review.

Review future staffing decisions before they become commitments.

FTE Tree keeps proposed position changes, pending request impact, and period reporting close to the approved position data instead of leaving them in side spreadsheets.

FTE and cost review

Start from the Operating Budget, then look beyond today by modeling pending staffing capacity, wage assumptions, department movement, and cost impact before changes are approved.

  • Review 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 report output by department, job code, fund, and other reporting dimensions.

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.
  • Model new positions, eliminations, reclassifications, FTE changes, wage changes, and adjustments together.
  • Turn request and report results into outputs 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.
