Stop Getting Surprised by Personnel Costs
WEBINAR: February 25, 2026, 11:00AM - 12:00PM PT
OpenGov's free "Stop Getting Surprised by Personnel Costs" webinar shows how modern workforce planning can turn uncertainty into clarity.
Personnel costs account for the majority of government budgets—yet many agencies still plan staffing changes in spreadsheets or disconnected tools. The result is familiar: unplanned shortfalls and budget conversations driven by surprises instead of strategy. This session focuses on how to stop getting surprised by personnel costs.
See how finance and HR leaders use workforce planning inside their enterprise resource planning to model hiring, vacancies, COLAs, benefits, and multi-year staffing scenarios before those decisions impact the budget. Instead of reacting, leaders gain visibility into the financial impact of workforce decisions across departments and years.
Learning Objectives:
- How to see the full budget impact of staffing decisions before committing dollars
- Why spreadsheet-based workforce planning creates hidden financial risk
- How to model COLAs, benefits, vacancies, and hiring scenarios with confidence
- What multi-year workforce forecasting reveals that annual budgets miss
- How ERP-based workforce planning supports long-term financial stability
