Empowering HR leaders with Anaplan for agile workforce planning and HR analytics

Use real-time insights to proactively manage people costs within budgetary constraints, despite increasing costs. Also, understand the uptake, cost, and value/ROI of various employee benefits as well as L&D investments.

Calculate and understand the future cost and cultural impact of workforce decisions, helping you to align financial budgets with talent strategies.

Create detailed plans across different levels of detail, for instance at HQ versus business units. Structure fair compensation models and develop compensation plans and apply fair practice across the organisation.

HR decisions, being time-sensitive, require current, accurate data and insights to be effective. Also, the ability to manage multiple scenarios and forecast downstream impacts based on business objectives.

Use Anaplan real-time data insights on key workforce metrics, costs, and performance. Perform bottom-up planning, or cascade down for top-down scenarios. Stay ahead of workforce trends and make agile decisions to respond promptly to changing business needs.

As D&I becomes a central focus for many organisations, tracking diversity metrics, setting D&I goals, and measuring progress become essential. Demonstrate the business impact of organisation-wide commitments and their execution using Anplan e.g. diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I).

Uncover valuable insights into potential workforce changes or absences, market shifts, organisational realignments or restructuring, and talent risks, to make proactive, data-driven decisions.

Model compensation structures that are fair, equitable and reflect the value employees bring to the organisation and your customers. Leverage dashboards, reporting, and analytics with data visualisation for faster, more accurate decisions.

Anaplan’s scenario modelling and predictive analytics capabilities allow you to simulate various ‘what-if’ scenarios to assess the potential impact of changes before applying them. Deliver immediate insight, on-the-fly plan changes and ongoing monitoring.

Fragmented data can hinder your teams’ effectiveness. Anaplan acts as a unifying platform, seamlessly integrates with your existing systems including, finance, payroll systems, as well as HR solutions including third-party benchmarking tools.

By integrating data such as external talent data, you can show the profile of talent across the countries where you operate (or wish to operate) and set expectations for the future set of candidates and hires that you should be able to attract.

For call centre planning, leverage real-time insights from sales, marketing, finance and other sources to improve forecast accuracy, reduce costs and enhance the customer experience.

Organisations are grappling with their approach to remote working, which has a significant impact on attracting and retaining the best talent.

For budgeting, you can track the mix of employees that are office based or virtual/remote. This allows you to estimate a budget that allows remote employees to travel a few times per year to work with their teams, calculate the environmental impacts, examine capacity requirements for specific locations or offices and calculate relocation budgets.

For your talent pipeline, you can use Anaplan to ensure that your future workforce is developed with emerging talent at the forefront and includes a flexible location strategy that supports employee choice and benefits.

Look forward to a smoother, more efficient HR management experience. Anaplan is designed with user-friendliness in mind, making it easy for your team to adopt and implement quickly.

A new, modern user interface supports personalised experiences, customised views and reports, so your team can build plans and execute quickly. Guided workflows including tasks and notifications enable quicker execution and more collaborative planning.

Finally, you can make a change once, in one place and it changes it for everybody. This creates consistency across the organisation.

Data security and compliance are paramount for every HR leader. Anaplan prioritises data protection with robust security measures and data encryption and ensures compliance with global regulations.

Recognising the sensitive nature of HR data, Anaplan employs top-tier security measures including self-service SAML (SS SAML) to simplify single sign on (SSO) and central identity management (CIM) to streamline user management, all within a centralised administration console.

Anaplan ensures that end-users can easily access Anaplan while providing security administrators with unified management and control.

As your organisation grows, your HR needs evolve as well. Spreadsheets cannot deliver the planning speed, complexity and collaboration that is expected in today’s fast paced business environment.

Anaplan is scalable and flexible, accommodating the changing requirements of your workforce and handling increased data volumes effortlessly.

Easily update underlying rosters and assumptions, so that your model can be used across teams for more detailed organisational planning and what-if scenarios.
