Finance and HR leaders reviewing workforce numbers

Trusted by 85,000+ complex organizations

Constantly debating the numbers has a cost

Too many reconciliation rounds stall mandates

  1. Scattered data

    Workforce data lives across deeply embedded HR and Finance systems. Meaning data pulls take time.

  2. Shaky assumptions

    Headcount moves fail to account for backfills, severance and coverage. Making impact unclear at first.

  3. Premature decisions

    Managers hire, source and relocate without visibility into plans. Actuals surface after budget spend.

  4. Credibility hits

    Both the CHRO and CFO are accountable to Boards demanding answers faster than ever.

Workforce visibility doesn’t just mean headcount

AI is disrupting how orgs understand costs

visier-workforce-gaps-04-capability-cost

Finance needs workforce costs broken down. Which HR is expected to deliver. But HR’s infrastructure doesn’t support fast answers.

Meanwhile, a rapidly shifting workforce complicates headcount with AI agents and tools sharing capabilities with humans.

Two critical gaps prevent this from getting better on its own.

  • Gap: a trustworthy data foundation pulled from across systems

  • Gap: workforce context that meets the data where it already lives to govern it with rules and guardrails

These are the gaps Visier Workforce AI was built to fill.

VISIER’S WORKFORCE INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM

    Model with the granularity required for planning to match actuals. Connect to impact before decisions are made.

  • Activate

    Stop unnecessary overruns

    Flag workforce decisions that would break the budget, before managers make them. Track whether budget commitments held.

Powered by Visier’s proprietary Context Engine

Workforce context is the layer most orgs are missing

  1. Decisions with auditable reasoning

    Humans and AI understand impact, generate scenarios and roll out at scale

  2. GenAI tools and agents

    Follows rules set by the Context Engine on continuously-updating input

  3. Workforce Context Engine

    Unifies your people data with workforce-specific rules, definitions and guardrails

  4. Workforce data

    All your people data, macro insights and HR science as raw input

  • RECONCILIATION SPEED

    Reconciliation in minutes

    Newell Brands cut reconciliation down to minutes with 580 leaders managing headcount, budget alignment directly.

  • COST VISIBILITY SAVINGS

    $5 to $8M projected annually

    Unisys consolidated payroll data into one real-time cost model. Giving Finance and Operations the visibility to rationalize overtime and supplemental pay, for $5 to $8 million in annual savings

  • WORKFORCE DECISIONS

    €1 million cost avoidance

    When Wärtsilä's CFO pushed for fast, scalable cost visibility ahead of a restructuring, Finance used it to implement FTE controls that reversed a growing headcount trend, generating over €1 million in annual cost avoidance

Common questions

We already have ERP and FP&A tools. Why do we need something else?

Those tools manage the financial side but don’t effectively bring in the workforce side. They weren't built to reconcile compensation, benefits, contingent labor and overtime data living across separate HR systems into one number Finance can trust, let alone deal with the constantly changing nature of people data. The intent is to extend what Finance already uses and make it more valuable instead of replacing it.

This sounds like a complex, disruptive implementation. Is it?

Disruption is already happening. It just takes the form of the reconciliation work your team does before every budget meeting. The goal is to reduce that manual scramble using data you already have.

Our current process works. Why change it?

It produces a number, but usually a stale one. Most workforce cost reconciliation only reflects reality weeks after a change happens. Which means decisions get made on numbers that are already out of date by the time they reach the room.

Why can't HR and Finance just agree on a shared spreadsheet?

Spreadsheets break down at the point where compensation, benefits, contingent labor, and overtime all need to reconcile into a single figure in real time. The moment someone asks why cost moved in a specific region mid-meeting, a shared spreadsheet still can't answer it on the spot.

How do we know this number will actually be audit-ready?

The intent is an audit trail allowing you to trace back to the assumptions, changes, and approvals that produced it, so your numbers are credible and defensible to the board.

Won't this just create another data source for us to govern and reconcile?

It's meant to incorporate within your existing stack so HR and Finance systems align: this provides the way to connect workforce, operational and financial data together to connect your talent to your business outcomes.

Will this require rebuilding our data pipeline or replacing existing systems like Workday?

No. It's built to integrate with systems like Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and Oracle, extending what's already in place rather than requiring a migration or a parallel system to maintain.

Should we be worried about AI governance and access control on cost data this sensitive?

Using Visier is far safer than connecting AI to each of your systems, which can lead to sensitive data leaks. Governance is enforced at the platform level, with role-based access controls, compliance standards, and audit trails built in rather than left as a configuration task each team has to set up on its own. With MCP, you can connect your own AI, with that same governance enforced thanks to Visier.

See, model, track. No sweat or regret.

Stop defending the number. Start using it.
