The appointment
What the business needed.
The brief
Senior leaders at a financial services business needed clearer workforce data to forecast staffing needs and plan resources. The business wanted workforce planning and HR analytics run from one place.
What made it hard
The role sat between HR and Finance. It needed someone who could build scenario models and agree headcount plans with finance, and who could also modernise the way HR reported. HR reporting at the time could not give leaders the real-time picture they wanted.
Who we found
An HR leader with a background in workforce planning and HR controlling, comfortable with data and with finance teams.
What changed
The person appointed led the digitisation of HR reporting, introduced workforce scenario modelling and worked with finance on headcount planning. This improved resource allocation, supported planning for future restructuring and gave leaders accurate, real-time workforce information.
