Workforce modeling

Workforce modeling is the process of aligning the demand for skilled labor with the availability and preferences of workers. It utilizes mathematical models to perform tasks such as sensitivity analysis, scheduling, and workload forecasting.

This approach can be used in industries with complex labor regulations, certified professionals, and fluctuating demand — such as healthcare, public safety, and retail. Workforce modeling tools can include software that helps determine staffing needs based on workload variations across times of day, days of the week, or seasonal cycles.
