Initial Staffing Report
Labor Forecast I. It initially appears that the future labor demands for Tanglewood are a reflection of a strong trend of consistency, based on the company’s historical staffing data. This consistency indicates that future staffing needs will match those of the past and current years. The results from my analysis indicate the shift of the current workforce within the company are as follows: i. The current workforce of store associates totals 8,500 employees. Of this 8,500: 1) 43%, or 3,655 employees, will remain store associates.
