Key Responsibilities

Data Analysis, Monitoring & Visualization

• Develop and maintain standardized dashboards and visualisations (e.g., CHRO/CFO executive packs, LBU scorecards, forecast accuracy trackers) that highlight enterprise-level patterns, cross-market dynamics, and key workforce metrics.
• Design analytical models and monitoring frameworks that validate planning assumptions, highlight supply gaps, and surface trends in productivity, attrition, cost, and location strategy.
• Define and manage thresholds, alert rules, and Signal Library logic (e.g., forecast variance, hiring surges, attrition hotspots) to trigger automated insights and deeper diagnostic analysis.
• Deliver cadence-based reporting frameworks (monthly, quarterly) and reusable templates aligned with planning cycles to enable timely, consistent visibility across markets.
  
  

Insight Generation & Decision Support

• Build BI products and reusable insight modules that generate actionable views on workforce trends, performance metrics, and emerging risks to support strategic decision-making.
• Develop self-service analytical toolkits (e.g., scenario model kits, intervention effectiveness scorecards, segmentation dashboards) that enable stakeholders to run their own demand–supply and workforce-risk analyses.
• Configure and maintain productivity and cost-efficiency models, human capital risk segmentation dashboards, and other enterprise BI assets to support scenario and capacity planning.
• Create standard data stories, commentary structures, and narrative templates so that insights are communicated in a clear, consistent way across markets and leadership forums.
• Establish Insight-to-Action metrics to track how BI outputs are used and to measure the impact of workforce planning interventions over time.
• Develop benchmarking packs and comparative views using internal and external data, enabling markets to position their workforce outcomes against agreed benchmarks.
  
  

Financial & Cost Integration

• Build BI components that help stakeholders understand cost levers (e.g., span of control, grade mix, location strategy) and embed these into reusable planning and reporting tools.
• Design simulation and scenario modules to assess the financial and productivity implications of organisational changes (e.g., hierarchy flattening, team consolidation, automation, vendor shifts).
• Develop analytics to test workforce scalability and agility under different stress scenarios (e.g., hiring pauses, rapid expansion) and embed these within planning tools for ongoing use.
  
  

Tools & Process Optimization

• Enhance management reporting tools (e.g., Office Connect templates, adaptive planning dashboards) and other efficiency enablers to streamline and standardise planning processes across markets.
• Define, document, and institutionalise key workforce planning metrics, methodologies, and reporting standards that guide decision-making and support strategic actions across the enterprise.
• Enforce standardized methodologies, metric definitions, and reporting frameworks to ensure comparability, reliability, and governance of workforce analytics across markets and functions.
