Agile Workforce Planning & Analytics Software | Workday (2024)

Workforce planning is how organizations collaborate to plan the deployment, development, retention and hiring of their workforce so they can meet operational and strategic goals. Driven by HR analytics for insights into hiring, retention, team performance, engagement and other key workforce trends, the effectiveness of an organization’s workforce planning efforts to improve key HR metrics while aligning talent supply to demand is key to success in the marketplace.

For most companies, having the right tools for successful workforce planning is still a work in progress. Chances are, you’re stuck with complex and clunky legacy software. Or you’ve settled for an error-prone spreadsheet process that is driven by multiple emails or slack messages and leaves you hopelessly unable to keep pace with your rapidly changing business. But now there’s a better way.

Bringing your planning, execution, and analysis needs into a single, seamless cycle drives our vision for workforce planning. Workday Adaptive Planning, HR Analytics and HCM enable you to align your workforce to your business. Identify your organization’s talent needs, talent gaps and scenario plan how best to fill them.
