THE KEY POINTS OF YOUR MEDIUM AND LONG TERM PLANNING PROJECT

The factors for success of a long-term planning project are the quality of activity forecasts, the level of integration with time and absence management, and the communication between operational staff and the HR department.

The choice of solution must take into account technical and organisational criteria.
  • The ability to import activity forecasts tailored to your business and transform them into operational needs.
  • Seamless interface with time management systems. Without this interface, it would be impossible to factor in planned absences, planned shifts, annualised hours, etc., which would reduce the quality of the forecasts.
  • The solution must accommodate collaborative scheduling so that the HR department can visualise the resource needs and initiate the corresponding actions.
  • The quality of reporting and dashboards: they are essential for making informed decisions about recruitment, temporary staffing, training, annualised hours, etc.
