Staffing models

A staffing model is like a fancy puzzle that helps people figure out how much staff they need to get things done. Imagine you have a lemonade stand, and you want to serve lots of people, but you don't want to have too many workers or too few. A staffing model helps you figure out how many workers you need to serve all your customers and make the best lemonade.

To create a staffing model, you need to think about a few things, like how long people stay at your lemonade stand, how many cups of lemonade they drink, and how many workers you have. With this information, you can create a plan that tells you how many workers you need to hire at different times of the day or week.

It's like a blueprint that tells you what to do when things get busy or slow. You might need more employees to work in the morning when people are on their way to work, and fewer workers in the afternoon when most people are finished.

A staffing model helps people make sure they have enough people working, but not too many, so they don't waste money paying people who aren't busy. It's like solving a puzzle to make sure everything runs smoothly and people are happy.
