workforce-planning skillA

workforce-planning is agent-read markdown (skill) from cbrock84/headcount: Plans the shape and size of the workforce — demand for roles, build-versus-buy, attrition, and sequencing hiring against budget. Use this to build a hiring plan, decide which roles to open and in what order, model attrition and backfill, plan for a growth or contraction scenario, or connect headcount plans to the budget..

What the file says

# Workforce planning

A hiring plan is an org design decision spread over twelve months and a large financial commitment
made in small pieces. It deserves the scrutiny of both.

## Plan capability, not headcount

Headcount is an input. Start from what the organization must be able to do that it currently cannot,
then work out what closes the gap — hiring, developing existing people, contracting, or not doing the
work.

The shape follows from `people:org-design`; this is about sequencing and quantity over time, funded
against `finance:budgeting-and-forecasting` on fully loaded cost rather than salary. Salary is
typically well under the true cost, and plans built on it are wrong by a wide and consistent margin.

## Sequence matters more than total

Twelve hires in a year is not one number; it is twelve dated decisions with dependencies.

- **Hire the people who make other hires productive first.** A manager, a lead, or the person who can
  onboard the next five. Hiring five juniors before the person who will develop them wastes most of
  the investment.
- **Respect absorption capacity.** An organization can only integrate so many people at once before
