# Staffing Forecasts

> Project and track staffing needs based on workload drivers, then evaluate forecast accuracy over time using the Forecasts and Accuracy tabs.

The Staffing Forecasts page shows projected staffing requirements derived from workload drivers and provides an accuracy dashboard to compare forecasts against actuals. It is served at route `/hr/staffing-forecasts`.

## Overview

The page is a two-tab interface: **Forecasts** (renders `ForecastDashboard`) and **Accuracy** (renders `ForecastAccuracyDashboard`). A back button navigates to `/hr/workload-drivers`. Forecasts are driven by workload driver configuration; the accuracy tab compares forecast data to actual outcomes.

This page is part of the HR-08 Workload Drivers & Staffing Needs feature.

## Who it's for

Access follows your organization's role and module configuration. ## Before you start

* Workload drivers must be configured at `/hr/workload-drivers` before forecast data populates.
* Historical timesheet or staffing data is required for the Accuracy tab to display meaningful comparisons.

## Steps

1. Navigate to **HR > Staffing Forecasts** or go to `/hr/staffing-forecasts`.
2. The **Forecasts** tab opens by default showing the forecast dashboard.
3. Review projected staffing needs by period.

**Review accuracy**

1. Switch to the **Accuracy** tab.
