This presentation describes the main elements of a temporal workforce structure model that has been developed using the Wolfram language and Wolfram Desktop application. These models have proven difficult to develop computationally for many years, resulting in organisations facing costly and complex crisis management, the chaos of the spot market for staff and high-risk opportunistic appointments. This presentation describes a workforce posture model to address these issues. The symbolic approach delivers the benefits of "closed-loop" control of workforce posture in an agile, efficient and feasible way using symbolic convolution algorithms and multi-stage optimisation.
