Workforce Planning in IBM Planning Analytics

Detailed Budgeting for Compensation and Employee-Related Expenses 

LIVE WEBINAR

July 21, 2026, 2:30 PM - 3 PM EST

Compensation and people-related expenses represent the largest cost category of every organization. They are also one of the hardest to plan accurately. Headcount changes, compensation adjustments, benefit, and payroll tax differences across states and countries create a lot of variability that is difficult to manage if not done efficiently in a system.

In this session, we'll walk through ACG's Workforce Planning Blueprint, a pre-configured model built on IBM Planning Analytics using best practices from dozens of implementations. You'll see how it:

  • Integrates directly with your HR database for automated upload of employee names, salaries, functions and other attributes

  • Supports flexible headcount planning at the department or cost center level, with name-by-name input by role and function

  • Handles new hires, terminations, and internal transfers, with automated notifications to impacted managers

  • Applies configurable driver tables for benefit rates, payroll taxes, merit increases, and other parameters across states and countries

  • Runs scenario and what-if analyses using different assumptions in real time

  • Integrates compensation expense automatically into the company P&L, with full organizational roll-up

  • Provides self-service reporting for planners and department managers, including daily, weekly, and monthly headcount tracking with budget comparisons and walk-forward analysis
