HR Planning
Workforce Planning in Anaplan
Mastering efficient workforce planning for tomorrow's HR department
Many companies today can only estimate how many people work for them on a given day. When it comes to looking into the future this becomes even more problematic as outlooks regarding revenue targets and other headcount driving factors can vary. The result is a finance driven headcount planning approach. Oftentimes this leads to suboptimal allocations and great talent as well as opportunities are lost in the process. In addition, the management has no understanding regarding cost drivers of personal costs when this “hire to budget” approach is used.
Watch our Workforce Planning demo videos and learn how Anaplan can help you fostering enhanced collaboration across your organization and empowering the HR function to be the key player in realizing strategic initiatives while having full transparency on cost drivers.
