## **Why Workforce Planning Breaks in Excel**

The misalignment of headcount assumptions leads to faulty formulas, confusion, and versioning issues. Payroll data becomes delayed and inaccurate, causing predictions to diverge from actual expenses.

Which results in:

- Missed targets
- Unreliable reports
- Budget chaos
