What our clients say about Nakisa's workforce planning software
We started implementing Nakisa in 2019 and it saved us a lot of time. Instead of manually creating org charts in PowerPoint, we use Nakisa to generate them automatically and instantly. Nakisa also helps my team with scenario modeling, succession planning, and talent sessions with our executives.
All in all, the process could take up to 38 days to complete the org change. With the write-back, the end-to-end org change process now takes under 5 days. The enablement of the write-back removes all the manual processing and automates information sharing between stakeholders. It is a huge win for our HR group.
With Nakisa, huge time savings were achieved through filtering, slicing, and dicing of data based on different dimensions such as layers, business lines, regions, countries, functions and products. Reports that took 2-6 hours to create in the past, were now being instantly generated in Nakisa with just a few simple clicks!

Frequently asked questions
What is workforce planning?
Workforce planning is the strategic process of aligning an organization's current and future workforce needs with its business objectives. It involves analyzing the organization's current workforce, projecting future workforce requirements based on factors such as business growth, technological advancements, and changes in the industry landscape, and developing strategies to ensure that the organization has the right people with the right skills in the right positions at the right time.
Key components of workforce planning usually include analysis of the current workforce, forecasting future needs, identifying skill gaps, headcount planning and talent acquisition, succession planning, and constant monitoring and evaluation.
Why is workforce planning so important?
Workforce planning is essential for large enterprises to strategically manage their human resources. It enables them to optimize resource allocation, anticipate and address talent gaps, support growth initiatives, enhance employee satisfaction and retention, ensure compliance with regulations, and adapt to technological advancements.
