Full-time equivalent (FTE)
A “full-time equivalent” (FTE) is a unit of measurement translating hours worked into headcount. Usually, 40 hours of work a week translate into one FTE. The FTE could also be two people working part-time for 20 hours a week each. It’s a way to compare headcount of companies without knowing the employment patterns of that company.
