• {{historical_data}}: Past hiring, attrition, and promotion trends.
• {{key_roles}}: Critical positions that require succession planning.

2. Analyze the workforce data to identify current and future talent gaps.
3. Apply workforce planning models (e.g., supply-demand analysis) to project skill requirements.

• Clearly state assumptions about future trends and their impact.
• Focus on strategic planning, not operational HR tasks.

Example

• {{business_objectives}}: Expand into Asia; {{workforce_data}}: 500 employees, 20% in leadership; {{historical_data}}: 10% annual attrition; {{key_roles}}: regional managers.
