Why Workforce Planning Matters

What Are CFOs Thinking About Today?
The top three most pressing concerns for CFOs
1 Measuring and monitoring business performance
2 Providing inputs into enterprise strategy
3 Developing talent in the finance organization
* Source: Forbes Magazine & IBM CFO Study
Only 47% think they’re effective at measuring and managing performance
CFOs are dubious about how well their own finance organization fulfills some of these duties
82% of CFOs see the value of integrating enterprise-wide information
Only 24% think their team is up to the task
5

What should a CFO really care about when it comes to Workforce Planning?
1. Driving Growth
2. Managing Risks
3. Reducing Costs
In order to invest in & drive profitable growth, full-time and contingent
labor costs must be realized so that we can adapt and plan more rapidly
The lack of qualified talent is widely recognized across industries. We
need the ability to replace talent in an agile process in order to manage
the risks of the scarcity of talent
Organizations must keep their costs of labor down. Proper planning and
scenario-based modeling enable for reduction of costs associated with
the workforce
6

Scenarios of Workforce Planning as a competitive advantage
•Growth Strategy is through Acquisition
–New regions/countries where localization will help
–New talent needs based on new business lines
–Evaluation of new companies to acquire where scenario modeling capabilities
will be of great benefit
–Reorganization of post-merger entities
•Global Economic uncertainty
–Need ability to contract and expand more rapidly based on exchange rates and
local events (i.e. Greece)
–Need ability to transfer labor costs to less expensive regions with similar
skillsets
–Need to associate product profitability with labor costs

Scenarios of Workforce Planning as a competitive advantage
•Technology transformation
–Cloud-delivered model is transforming the IT support, infrastructure ,and
development organizations need for labor, and shifting of labor costs
–New customer Experience technology like mobile and big data analytics is
requiring more planning and new skillsets needed to support initiatives
–Improvements with Recruiting and Onboarding processes now make branding
of technology even more important, and requires different skills than before
8

Whet is driving the activity around workforce planning?
•The “events” are what matter. Some are created for us, and some we create
–M&A
–Market volatility
–Company performance challenges
–Company new product opportunities
–Rapidly increasing technology spend (HR experiencing explosive spend)
•As those trends continue, there will be increased alignment between Finance,
Human Capital Management, and IT to enable actionable data

Workforce Planning is NOT a Human Resources System
12
Users sometimes stop at the word “Workforce”…..actual examples….
“Can we use Workforce to manage our bonus payouts?”
“Why can’t Workforce tell me who our new hires were last month?”
“We will need to use Workforce to provide payroll tax reporting.”
“I thought you said that Workforce can be used to track candidates for open
positions.”
“Workforce will automatically update the names of new hires into open positions,
right?”
The focus should be on the word “Planning”

Workforce Planning is an Awesome People Costs Planning Tool
13
Workforce rocks at……
• Budgeting and Forecasting people costs
• Planning costs at the individual, position, or role levels
• Consolidating plans across companies, currencies, and regions
• Bringing together data from multiple systems and sources
• Managing people costs consistently
• Segregating sensitive data from the rest of the Budget and Forecast processes
• Allocating costs
Workforce Planning is a Powerful Financial Planning and Reporting Tool

Additional benefits and business value of Workforce Planning
•Can handle multiple tax and benefit rules
•Powerful currency translations
•Headcount and FTE calculations
•Employee allocations (see next slide)
•Employee profitability contributions
•Secure detailed data while pushing summary data to overall plan
•Interfaces seamlessly with CapEx
All of these benefits enable a faster and more accurate production of
actionable data
14

Employee Allocations and Workforce Planning
Commonly Required Custom Functionality
•Integrates Human Resources and Financial data
•Requires an additional step after calculating employee costs to allocate those
costs to the appropriate data points
- Can Provide a P&L View by Customer, Market Segment, Product Line, et cetera
- Source for the initial allocation spread percentages
- Users have the ability to maintain drivers
- Need to be mindful of performance and data volumes
- May eliminate or minimize the need for Employee Transfers
•Considerations
- Allocation for an individual may spread beyond a person’s security access
- Making sure that the employee is fully allocated (Need exception report)
- Very Important to have a designated “home” business unit or organizational structure
