PeopleSoft Workforce Planning

Today's forward-looking human resources organizations recognize that linking strategic business objectives with workforce growth and development plans through long-term planning can drive competitive advantage. Planning includes identifying competencies and skills required at all levels and in each job function-both today and for future business needs. It also involves considering alternative scenarios for building the optimal workforce of the future.

Oracle's PeopleSoft Workforce Planning helps you conduct in-depth analysis of mid- and long-term workforce requirements to determine which key jobs, competencies, and profiles are essential to fulfilling your organizational strategy. It then links these needs directly to individual employees so you know how your current workforce compares with what is required to make your organization successful. By aligning your workforce development plans with business objectives, you can reduce hiring time and expense, lower training costs, and increase productivity across the organization.
