Anaplan's Workforce Planning app includes a comprehensive set of features and functionalities for planning at any company. Users can set a tops-down budget and compare it with bottoms-up compensation in real time. Additionally, the app offers four distinct methods for workforce planning, including setting up a sales and capacity outlook, building a ratio-driven approach, setting the hiring plan for operational FTEs and temps' hourly labor, and planning with an ad hoc method.

This app allows users the flexibility to implement and compare these methods to provide a holistic view of workforce demand for the coming year. The app also incorporates complex statistical forecasting methods to predict future attrition rates. After planning for the future workforce, tracking newly approved reqs through the recruitment lifecycle provides increased insight, leveraging assumption-based drivers to determine when and how many applicants should apply for a given position.
