Workforce Planning

Identify future workforce requirements to drive your business forward

Executing your business strategy successfully depends on people, not headcount. That's why many organizations are still reporting critical talent shortages even as unemployment stays at record highs.

With Saba Workforce Planning, you can scenario plan for the future using the familiar organizational charting paradigm.

Saba Workforce Planning is the first solution that moves beyond headcount-based planning to enable organizations to model their future based on their unique people requirements. Designed for line managers as well as talent planners in HR, Saba Workforce Planning enables organizations to:

  • Make better people decisions
  • Bring hidden risks to light
  • Generate business agility by enabling both managers and HR professionals to quickly identify talent for growth or mobility initiatives
Next Steps

Go beyond employee demographics for more informed decisions. Unlike solutions that solely focus on demographics that infer what your workforce might look like in the future, Saba Workforce Planning takes a real-world approach based on unique talent insights. Saba utilizes a unified people profile containing formal performance ratings and competency data as well as informal measures of employee success and potential. Critical position and succession readiness indicators ensure a full picture of the implications of your workforce decisions so you can avoid "unexpected surprises."

Foster the business agility that is critical for growth. Saba Workforce Planning helps identify future workforce requirements before they hold your business back by uncovering and taking immediate action on areas of risk, such as too few employees with the particular skills needed for a critical and expanding role. Saba's unified approach to people performance also ensures that your workforce plans intersect with your talent mobility, performance, and development strategies, enabling you to:

  • Gain higher business agility and workforce adaptability to rapid business changes
  • Utilize your internal resources more effectively to drive growth initiatives
  • Improve employee retention with actionable career development and talent mobility

Engage your managers in planning. Done right, workforce planning creates a global view of current and future positions and incumbents. But if gathered solely by workforce planners, the information you have on your talent will be basic at best. Individual managers across the organization are closer to both the talent itself and the day-to-day aspects of how the organization operates. With Saba, both workforce planners and line managers are able to create and save multiple models of the organization's future utilizing familiar visual representations of the organization's talent such as organizational charts and extensible 9-box grids.
