“As we see our business scaling around the world, I see our workforce planning environment scaling along with it.”
Plan for what’s next with deep insight.
Planning your workforce takes a lot of data—and an understanding of what the data means. We help you make sense of it all to uncover rich, actionable insights.
Take stock of transfers, planned hires, skills, attrition, part-time versus full-time, contingent workers, and more.
Identify areas for opportunity or uncover concerning trends before they grow into larger issues.
Monitor and analyze costs, see unfilled positions, and break down your workforce geographically—all using easy-to-use dashboards.
Model all kinds of workforce scenarios.
Model virtually anything by department, cost center, level, location, position, skills, and more—and map it to how you run your business.
You can also compare multiple scenarios in real time to forecast what could happen next, predict impact, and choose the best plan from there.
Reduced staffing forecast variances from 20 percent to 2 percent.
Make the right hiring decisions—together.
Provide insights.
Give your team current and forecasted data as well as metrics for recruiting, training, transfers, and attrition.
Plan as a team.
Model and share what-if scenarios to plan whether to build, borrow, or buy the talent you need.
Stay aligned.
Sync your workforce and financial plans, see real-time impact of updates, and work together to adjust variances.
