Workforce Planning in Farseer

In this webinar, Matej Trbara (Co-founder, Farseer) walks through how HR and finance teams can move beyond disconnected spreadsheets and build a fully automated, driver-based workforce planning model — one that calculates salaries, taxes, benefits, and total employment costs automatically as headcount and assumptions change.

You’ll see a live demo of a workforce planning model covering both fixed-pay employees and contractors, showing how individual hire plans, batch hiring, budget limits, and what-if scenarios all work together in real time.

What you’ll learn:

• How to plan individual employee hires with automatic salary calculation, yearly increases, bonuses, tax codes, and benefit packages — all driven by just a few inputs per person
• How batch hiring works for contractor-heavy roles like call center agents, where you plan headcount and hourly rates rather than individual employees
• How management can set department-level workforce budgets and instantly see which departments are over or under their limits
• How what-if simulations let you test changes to headcount, hourly rates, or benefit packages and see the impact on total workforce cost in real time
• How mid-month start and end dates, salary renegotiations, and custom benefit overrides can all be handled within the model without breaking the underlying logic

The session also covers how new roles and employee types can be added to the model in minutes, and how the entire planning process runs without a single email being exchanged between departments.

Who this is for: CFOs, HR directors, finance managers, and FP&A professionals in companies with complex workforce structures, multiple employee types, or large planning teams who want a faster and more accurate alternative to spreadsheet-based headcount planning.
