OrgChart, a market-leading organizational chart software solution, today announced the launch of new Workforce Planning features, powered by Position Management technology. Designed to simplify manual and complex workforce planning processes, these features give HR leaders deeper insights into their organizations and empower them to model future scenarios for success.
The new Workforce Planning features will give HR leaders the ability to easily create comprehensive org chart visualizations of future workforce scenarios and design their organizational structures by separating positions from employees. Simply set a strategic goal – for instance: increase headcount by 10% or stay within a $5 million salary budget – then drag and drop positions or employees, and measure the impact of your changes against your goal. Coworkers can collaborate on plans in real time, and all updates are automatically tracked. Plans can then be easily exported to PowerPoint, PDF, or shared via web link.

With reports of more than 70% of reorgs failing, and 60% of executives surveyed by McKinsey saying they did not spend enough time assessing the state of their organization before a new design, there is a clear need for better organizational design tools. Additionally, a study by OrgChart found 97% of HR leaders are using spreadsheets for organizational planning and 83% plan to invest in better tools for strategic planning. OrgChart’s Workforce Planning features were specifically designed with HR leaders in mind so they can clearly visualize employee and position performance, salary, location, and other metrics to build a sustainable future organization.
“We’re excited to put our new position-based Workforce Planning features into the hands of HR leaders,” said Tom McCarty, CEO of OrgChart. “For too long, they’ve been stuck manually managing critical org data in outdated spreadsheets – especially during high-stakes reorganizations. Now, they have access to a tool that automates workforce planning and gives them the time and insight to be a stronger strategic partner.”
