Sage a provider of accounting, financial, HR, and payroll technology for small and mid-sized businesses, has launched Workforce Intelligence, a new analytics engine for Sage People, designed to give HR leaders deeper visibility, anticipate challenges, and drive strategic impact through data.
Despite growing pressure on HR teams to take a more strategic role, research from Gartner found that although the labor market has undergone significant shifts, most organizations still rely on headcount-based planning, which limits their ability to anticipate future talent needs. In fact, only 15% of companies engage in strategic workforce planning, leaving a significant gap in HR’s ability to align talent with long-term business goals. Now available to Sage People customers, Workforce Intelligence addresses this gap by providing AI-powered insights, allowing HR to analyse, aggregate and visualize data to deeper insights into their business needs.
