What role does Infor HR play in workforce planning?

The role of Infor HR in workforce planning is primarily to analyze workforce needs and forecast future hiring requirements. This involves assessing current employee skills, capacities, and the overall composition of the workforce alongside anticipated changes in business direction and market demands. By leveraging data analytics and reporting tools, Infor HR can provide insights into areas such as labor shortages, skill gaps, and optimal staffing levels needed to meet organizational goals.

This capability enables organizations to proactively plan for recruitment and training efforts based on projected business growth and changes within the industry, ensuring that they have the right talent in place at the right time. Such strategic workforce planning not only supports immediate hiring needs but also aligns with long-term business strategies, ultimately fostering a more agile and responsive workforce.

In contrast, limiting hiring to existing employee capacities, focusing solely on retention strategies, or failing to influence hiring decisions does not encapsulate the comprehensive functionality that Infor HR provides in terms of workforce planning.
