Workforce Planning with Workday HCM

Workforce planning
is an
Adaptive Planning
instance that uses your
Workday
HCM data. The model foundation includes dimension and data loaders, top-down and bottom-up modeled sheets, dimensions, and formulas.

Workforce Planning Benefits

  • Get an accurate picture of your workforce and adapt to changing requirements.
  • Drive what-if scenarios.
  • Create effective hiring plans, identify gaps, and align with business goals.

What Workforce Planning Does

  • Stream
    Workday
    data to
    Adaptive Planning
    sheets.
  • Enter and edit data in
    Adaptive Planning
    sheets to model your plans.
  • Model headcount, skills, transfers, planned hires, and attrition.
  • Share plans with your people managers.
  • Get their feedback and buy-in early and often.
  • Check actuals to plan and take corrective actions when needed.

Set Up Workforce Planning

The workforce planning instance is a separate instance from your
Adaptive Planning
financial planning instance. To get started:
  • You must contact your Customer Success Manager.
  • You don't need an existing financial planning model.
  • You do need
    Workday
    HCM. If you don't use
    Workday
    HCM, use the personnel planning sheet that comes with your financial planning model to manage your workforce. Or, contact us to discuss other options.
