Workforce modeling

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

This approach is commonly applied in industries with complex labor regulations, certified workers, and varying levels of demand, including healthcare, public safety, and retail. Workforce modeling solutions often include software tools that help determine staffing needs based on workload volume across different periods, such as times of day, days of the week, or seasonal cycles.
