Manage, plan and monitor your workforce costs with SAP Analytics Cloud.
It’s increasingly important for companies to keep costs under control in order to improve their performance and plan for the future. In order to do so, it’s necessary to integrate information and data about the people involved in the company so that decisions can be made quickly and wisely. Labour cost planning is therefore crucial, and Ccelera has the right solution to bring this innovation to companies.
To explain what workforce cost planning is, let’s start with a simple example: the time when companies had to cope with the pandemic just like everyone else.
During the pandemic it was necessary to perform a cost simulation in order to ensure the best solution for employees without the company being significantly impacted. Can we afford the redundancy fund? Is it cheaper to close a factory or are layoffs the best way forward?
To answer these questions, it was necessary to plan out all the costs, quickly assess the situation and then make the best possible decision based on complete, realistic information. The need is therefore to have a centralised vision and control of the planning of these costs for the company’s workforce.
Moreover they need to be globally significant in order to manage:
The planning model described in the previous paragraph is the one we recommend for groups. In general, it’s common for companies to manage their HR processes independently, often using different platforms. However, this can lead to scattered information and a lack of communication between the various units of the organisation. One way to improve the situation could be to consider implementing a unified system, allowing for an overall view of the information, improving efficiency and collaboration at a company-wide level.
We have analysed the needs and understood the situation of many groups. The time has come to provide an effective solution that can improve labour cost planning.
What we recommend is the adoption of a platform to manage the planning and analysis of labour costs for all the companies of the same group, putting in place a common model that, thanks to its flexibility and completeness, can also deal with the particular requirements of various countries from a regulatory, analysis and operational point of view.
This way the planner no longer has to worry about fetching the information used to draft the budget, as the platform itself will offer a baseline planning version of the HR cost based on historical data from Payroll, the employee database and accounting.
Therefore, the planner will be able to calculate a variety of simulations and take variations in the data into account, exploiting the platform’s value distribution functions in order to arrive at a highly detailed budget. Furthermore, it will make it possible to keep track of changes, planned and failed hires, departures and so on, thus enabling companies to perform more comprehensive analyses, such as the changes in personnel in terms of both HC/FTE and costs.
So is there a platform that can ensure what is described above? The answer is yes, and it’s called SAP Analytics Cloud.
Specifically, it improves the accuracy and completeness of the development phase using:
