Genesys Cloud's capacity planning system provides comprehensive workforce management analytics through its Admin interface, enabling organizations to view and analyze staffing metrics across business units and planning groups at weekly and monthly granularity levels. The system employs a detailed FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) calculation framework that tracks Starting FTE, Attrition rates, New Hires FTE, Transfer FTE, ET/UT FTE changes, and Shrinkage percentages to calculate Planned FTE and Net FTE (productive capacity after shrinkage).
Core FTE methodology combines Starting FTE minus Attrition FTE plus New Hire FTE, Transfers FTE, and ET/UT FTE to determine Planned FTE, with Shrinkage FTE derived from a percentage applied to Planned FTE. Average Planned FTE is calculated by summing daily planned FTE across open business days, divided by open days and multiplied by open days per week. The Staffing section calculates Over/Under FTE by comparing Average Planned FTE against Average Required FTE, which accounts for service performance goals and shrinkage.
Users can search and filter capacity plans using multiple date options—Future End Date, Anytime, or specific date ranges—then access interactive staffing analytics including Over/Under FTE metrics displayed in bar charts with detailed tooltips. Monthly views compute End-of-Month Planned FTE, Average Planned FTE, Average Shrinkage FTE, and Average Net FTE with Total Over/Under by Month bar charts, while weekly views include Over/Under by Week bar charts showing FTE variances. The Staffing Inputs section provides detailed component calculations including Attrition percentage and FTE, New Hires FTE, Transfers FTE (displayed as net values when bidirectional), and ET/UT FTE. The Forecast Inputs section displays aggregated business unit-level monthly and weekly volume and Average Handle Time (AHT) data.
The system supports flexible filtering by planning groups, staffing groups, or combinations thereof, with automatic cross-association updates. All inputs can be modified in real-time to enable iterative workforce planning and scenario analysis, supporting adequate staffing level determination, workforce requirement forecasting, staffing gap identification, and resource allocation optimization. Results are viewable at staffing group and planning group association levels with expandable views for detailed analysis, and interactive tooltips provide detailed month and week-specific information to support comprehensive capacity planning decisions
