Anaplan Accelerator: Enterprise Compensation Planning (ECP)

Accordion’s Enterprise Compensation Planning Anaplan Accelerator is a dynamic workforce planning and management solution for both top-down and bottom-up planning including: driver-based forecasting, what-if scenario planning, and employee compensation management.

Model Strategic Targets From the Top Down as a Building Block to Operational Forecasts

  • Start with the goal in mind by modeling a workforce plan based on % of sales and other executive targets
  • Make broad, position based headcount changes to “what if” how targets can be met with an operational plan
  • View positional synopsis of headcount and compensation by position, level, and ethnicity
  • Leverage workflow to submit targets and allowing regional managers to plan operational hiring & raises based on the targets
  • Report and analyze headcount at both the strategic and operational level in real-time

Develop Operational Workforce Plan by Person and Position from the Bottom Up

  • Review targets in real time and model operational forecasts based on set targets
  • Automate the load of employee roster and salary data from your HR and Payroll systems to develop a “current state” baseline
  • Plan regional taxes, benefits, bonus, and merit increases by person and position for accurate compensation forecasting
  • Add planned hire, named employees to determine the impact on financials
  • Model bulk to-be-hired employees by position, utilizing a headcount multiplier and average salary adjustment for large planning organizational changes

Manage Global Drivers, Business Unit Assumptions, and Employee Transfer Activity to Drive Consolidated P&L Reporting

  • Use what-if planning for salary raises and bonus structures for existing employees to meet established workforce expense forecast targets
  • Plan for positional changes and promotions at the employee level, including title changes, new start dates, and salary changes
  • Request and approve employee transfers between regions to determine the financial impact on the region’s workforce expense
  • Update the employee roster to reflect the positional and regional employee changes once the planned changes have been approved
