Full-Time Equivalent
Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) is a unit that standardises workforce headcount by converting part-time and contract hours into full-time equivalents. In Indian BPO, IT, and manufacturing sectors, FTE calculations help budget for manpower costs and comply with statutory obligations. One FTE typically represents 40-48 hours of work per week depending on the organisation's policy.
