The AI-era headcount planning toolkit

Headcount planning has shifted from a budgeting exercise to a workforce design exercise, and HR and finance need a shared way to make those calls. This toolkit includes a 5-step framework for classifying every role by AI impact (hire as planned, hire later, redesign, redeploy, automate, or create a new AI-enabled role), a scenario simulator for modeling the cost of each decision, and a recurring meeting checklist to keep HR, finance, and recruiting in sync all season.
