A. Align your headcount planning with your business objectives using Nakisa strategic workforce planning software
The Nakisa Strategic Workforce Planning Suite is the key to doing intelligent enterprise headcount planning, empowering users to do sound budgeting and financial planning in the service of transforming their workforce to align with strategic goals.
With this suite, clients get a single source of truth regarding their current headcount numbers so that they can accurately determine their workforce’s capabilities and determine the changes they’ll need to undertake to achieve their aims. They’ll be able to forecast both upcoming labor needs and labor costs so that appropriate, targeted budgeting can be done when addressing their workforce expansion or reduction requirements.
Managers can easily simulate different hiring or layoff scenarios over time so that they can ensure they’ll have the right talent when needed all while staying within budget. And then, when a headcount plan is finalized and executed, analytics and reports allow users to track results so that they can make further changes as needed.
B. Design your best organization with Nakisa organizational design software
The Nakisa Org Design Suite provides a market-first: Offering enterprises the ability to do both operational and strategic organizational design functionality in a single end-to-end solution. While every other offering in the market focuses on the strategic (or top-down) organizational design features, Nakisa makes it possible to democratize organizational design so that every stakeholder can collaborate to build a better organization. This suite helps ensure that organizational changes do not happen in a vacuum. Real, practical change happens with the input of everyone who’s directly impacted by the intended organization design - managers can effectively manage their team structure, foster collaboration, simulate organizational changes, and streamline the process for the approval and execution of those changes.
This is all achieved by the complementary use of the Org Design Suite’s two products: Strategic Org Design and Operational Org Design.
Nakisa Strategic Org Design is software that allows users to create scenarios to model organizational changes aligned with business rules and ensures these plans are measurable through organizational health indicators. Here’s the workflow that it enables:
Nakisa Operational Org Design’s features are the true breakthrough, however; this software empowers managers to make meaningful contributions to organizational changes for their teams based on their lived insights as to how to best staff their units for success. Managers get to initiate timely changes at the team level for immediate effect rather than having to passively wait for a huge organization-wide transformation initiative’s impact to trickle down.
Managers can create multiple staff proposals and share with collaborators and approvers to evaluate multiple “what-if scenarios” before approving and executing an organizational design change. Additionally, the suite allows users to modify captions in role descriptions/proposals to fit the organization’s preferred in-house jargon for further clarity.
C. Visualize and analyze your org structure with Nakisa org chart software
The Nakisa Org Chart Suite is an expansion of our already-powerful organization visualization capabilities. Integrating with a multitude of ERP systems (such as SAP HCM, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle, and Workday), the suite takes extremely complex data and makes it easily understandable, digestible, and actionable.
The Org Chart Suite offers multiple organization display options and summary views to provide data as needed, accurate to near real time so that decisions are based on reality.
Ultimately, it’s all about simplifying the visualization of complex data in org chart format, reports, analytics, or whatever combination of these delivery vehicles make sense to users so that they can gain insights, streamline their design process, and make strategic decisions that reflect their organization’s real needs.
Here are some key launch features:
1. Comprehensive, configurable in-chart analytics
Users can choose from a huge variety of out of the box standard metrics to be displayed in their org chart view.
2. Summary chart analytics to easily see the big picture
Sometimes, you need deeper dives into analytics; Nakisa org chart software makes it possible to show summary analytics directly in org charts so that trends and important stats are immediately apparent to readers.
3. Dotted line display so that all reporting relationships are clear
Dotted line reporting is extremely common; org chart solutions don’t always show this intuitively. Our org chart software makes the information jump out!
4. Historical org charts to track your organization evolution
When it’s necessary to see how well (or not) historical structures worked for the enterprise, the Org Chart Suite allows users to see snapshots of org structures from past iterations of the workforce.
5. Visualizing multiple incumbents of a role in org charts
A common request from users is that they want to easily see the names of all multiple incumbents directly from the org chart box. There’s a desire to not have to navigate to another screen for this information. The suite does this right out of the box.
6. Creating a hierarchical list of all roles via scoped search
Sometimes, you just want to see where everyone sits in the organization. The suite’s “scoped search” function allows users to generate a comprehensive hierarchical list of positions and employees for any or all parts of the organization with the click of a button.
7. Easy data cleanup with quick displays of orphaned positions
Nakisa’s org chart software is built to make data cleanup a simple task. Just by applying a filter, the suite shows all orphaned positions so that HR professionals can easily correct data errors.
8. Clear visibility of the organization’s reporting hierarchy
Easily visualize your organization's reporting structure as maintained in your ERP.
9. Creating custom dashboards as needed
Nakisa org chart software already comes with a useful employee dashboard out of the box, but users can easily create dashboards that meet their particular needs with ease. They simply select the option to create a new dashboard and then follow the steps to add the elements they need to make their own.
