Statistical Techniques Used to Project
Staffing Demand Needs
Name Description
Regression analysis Past levels of various work load indicators, such as sales,
production levels, and value added, are examined for
statistical relationships with staffing levels. Where
sufficiently strong relationships are found, a regression (or
multiple regression) model is derived. Forecasted levels of
the retained indicator(s) are entered into the resulting
model and used to calculate the associated level of
human resource requirements.
Time series analysis Past staffing levels (instead of work load indicators) are
used to project future human resource requirements. Past
staffing levels are examined to isolate and cyclical
variation, long-tem terms, and random movement. Long-
term trends are then extrapolated or projected using a
moving average, exponential smoothing, or regression
technique.

Alternative Scheduling Options
Percent Using
Alternative (N = 427 companies)
• Part-time: A regular employee who works fewer than 35 hours per 84%
week.
• Flextime: A system than enables employees to vary their schedules:
40%
Usually, the flexibility applies to starting and finishing times.
• Compressed workweek: A full-week schedule (usually 40 hours) than
23%
occurs in fewer than five days, such as four 10-hour days.
• Job sharing: Two or more employees split a full-time position, diving
18%
the responsibilities, and, to some degree, the compensation.
• Work-at-home: A program that enables employees to complete work at
home (or at a remote office closer to home) on a regular basis. It is often 13%
referred to as “flexplace” or “telecommuting.”
