Common challenges
Salary planning
Optimising your salary planning across different divisions, cost centres and currencies can make for complex and intricate HR processes.
A lack of flexibility
When you’re running salary planning workflows using spreadsheets, you quickly run into constraints in terms of agility and flexibility. Shifting personnel across units, cost centres, countries and divisions is difficult and leaves processes prone to human error and version control issues. Traditional spreadsheets are simply not set up for dynamic planning and forecasting purposes.
Calculation errors
A poor planning workflow can result in duplicated costs, inaccurate salary mappings and other errors that result in misstated salary numbers. This has knock-on effects in terms of personnel development, performance measurement, ROI calculations and staff planning capabilities. This can place further pressure on already constrained resources.
Dynamic salary planning
