Use of comma before "to"

Does the following sentence need to have a comma before "to"?

"They wrote a guide on how to plan engineer workloads to assist future recruits."

What I'm trying to say is that they wrote a guide so that future recruits had something to refer to.

Many thanks

I assume you mean 'before the second to '. The answer is ' no '. It's fine as is.

If the engineer workloads themselves are planned for the purpose of assisting future recruits, then no comma is needed. On the other hand, if the guide is designed to assist engineering recruits so that they can better plan their workloads, then a comma is needed.

Reading the additional narrative, it appears that the comma would be needed.
