Virtual Roundtable Series: Real Headcount Planning

​Allison Hicks, TPPG Community Manager and the only person who can keep forty People leaders on topic for an hour, is back to facilitate another virtual roundtable. This time on headcount realities.

​Planning season is here, which means you're being asked to forecast a year that nobody can actually predict. The spreadsheet wants a number. The business wants flexibility. Finance wants both, smaller. Somewhere in the middle you're trying to figure out which roles are real, which backfills are quietly gone, and how to protect a team that's already stretched.

​November is the right time to compare notes: How is your planning process actually running this year? Who owns the number? Where are you fighting for roles and where have you stopped fighting? And what's the honest conversation you're having with leadership about what the current headcount can and can't deliver?

​Bring your questions, your experiences, and your opinions. See you there.
