Bench ratio
نسبة المديرين الجاهزين
Definition
The bench ratio is the number of ready-now managers divided by the openings approved for the next two quarters. The bench leads the pipeline: each new branch manager comes from it, trained in a live branch. When the ratio falls below 1, the next openings wait for people, not sites.
In plain words
Do you have enough ready managers for the branches you are about to open?
