7 Practical Modules over 4 Training Days
The workshop combines explanations, worked examples, spreadsheet exercises, and a final presentation.
Budget Foundations & Governance
This module sets out the HR budgeting and reporting cycle, separates the company’s workforce budget from the HR department budget, defines the core budgeting terms, and establishes the governance, assumptions, and model structure that every later calculation depends on.
Workforce Planning & Employee Costing
This module translates the workforce plan into employee costs: it measures headcount and FTE, plans workforce movements, builds the employee cost baseline, and calculates hiring costs, salary changes, bonuses, benefits, employer contributions, overtime, and temporary workforce costs with correct timing.
HR Operating Expenses & Consolidation
This module builds the HR operating expense budget — recruitment, learning, HR technology, and other services — phases every cost by month, allocates shared costs, consolidates the budget without duplication, and validates the model before approval.
Variance Analysis & Forecasting
This module tests the budget against changing conditions through scenarios and sensitivity analysis, then compares actual results with the budget, explains variances by cause, and updates the year-end forecast within a controlled change process.
HR Dashboard Foundations, Metrics & Data Quality
This module defines what an HR dashboard is for and who uses it, selects and documents KPIs, builds the core workforce, cost, recruitment, turnover, attendance, payroll, and learning metrics, sets targets and thresholds, and establishes the data structure and quality controls a reliable dashboard needs.
Dashboard Design & Management Reporting
This module turns the KPI dictionary into a management dashboard: it sets the reading order and chart choices, interprets an executive dashboard, writes management commentary that leads to decisions, and establishes a monthly reporting routine with clear ownership.
Integrated Case Study & Implementation
This module brings the workshop together in one integrated case: participants build a consolidated annual budget with monthly phasing, test a hiring-delay scenario, review a forecast overspend through a dashboard and management commentary, and plan how to implement the approach in their own organizations.
