Good reasons for a personnel planning solution
In today's dynamic business world, effective workforce planning is crucial. Factors such as skills shortages, high turnover, training requirements and budget constraints demand modern, error-free planning. Using manual Excel spreadsheets is time-consuming and risky. Therefore, a modern, user-friendly personnel planning solution is becoming increasingly urgent to ensure efficient and secure management of personnel data while offering comprehensive analysis options.
What is the purpose of the personnel planning solution?
The solution is intended to overcome the personnel cost planning deficit of HR systems.
Personnel planning and personnel cost management is an important, cross-divisional, functional corporate process. Systems and tools should be used to support this process effectively and efficiently, taking into account the various stakeholders.
The currentHR systems (SAP HCM/SAP SuccessFactors) provide insufficient support for the personnel cost planning process . The solution developed by s-peers overcomes this deficit and also creates extended options for reporting personnel data.
What does our personnel planning and simulation solution offer?
The personnel planning solution of the SAP Analytics Cloud can be used flexibly. Regardless of whether your data comes from SAP BW (Business Warehouse), SuccessFactors, SAP Datasphere, Google Cloud or another HR solution with an export function, the basic functionalities remain the same.
However, when using SAP SuccessFactors, for example, which does not include an independent planning option, the data must first be modeled. In addition to the SAP Analytics Cloud for planning, SAP Datasphere is used to prepare and structure the existing data and make it available for planning.
The exact requirements for implementation are worked out in a workshop.
These are the available standard functions of the solution:
- Personnel planning (FTE): creation of new positions, transfer or termination of positions, batch/mass creation
- Simulation of FTE based on the input of growth target and fluctuation for 2 subsequent years (linear extrapolation)
- Personnel cost planning (PEX): based on personnel planning (FTE), personnel costs can be planned (basic salary, bonuses, one-off payments)
- Integration of AHV / IV calculation
- Simulation of personnel costs (salary increase) for 2 subsequent years (linear extrapolation)
- Free simulation option based on the Value Driver Tree for FTE and personnel costs
- Simulations can be saved, loaded and customized separately
- Predefined reporting with planning and simulation data (graphical and tabular)
- In addition, an overview of all newly created items from the planning process
- Data entries are only available to the extent of the existing master data. This prevents incorrect entries (non-existent cost center, incorrect item ID, etc.).
