Learn how OrgPlus helped BT manage reorganisation
Reorganisation is a complex planning process that usually involves multiple departments and stakeholders, is deliberated over a significant period of time, and takes weeks if not months to implement, once all the decisions have been made and approved.
Reorganisation is often complicated by not only shifting organisational priorities and goals, but also by employee changes. Some employees leave, new ones are hired, job titles change and employees are reassigned to new projects or are moved to new departments. OrgPlus is designed to take the pain out of reorganisation activities and aid managers in validating and confirming employee data.
Here are just a few of the OrgPlus features that make reorganisation easier:
- Access data directly from the HRMS or ERP system
Built-in connectors to Oracle, PeopleSoft, SAP and other HRMS and ERP software packages make it easy to extract data, build chart and modelling scenarios automatically, and refresh data by schedule or on-demand. - Move individuals, departments and project teams
Once your charts have been built, you can move individual employees or entire departments and divisions. Once changes have been discussed and approved, they can be actioned back to your HRMS system. - Calculate headcount, salary information and other KPIs
Key calculations happen automatically as you restructure your workforce. Headcount, group salaries and any other key performance indicators (KPI) auto-update, giving you the information you need, without the need to build and generate complex reports in your ERP/HRMS system. - Advanced orphan management
During a reorganisation, you want to make sure that every employee is accounted. OrgPlus will highlight orphans (employees without supervisors), making it easier to place every employee in a proper position. - Matrix reporting
OrgPlus supports dotted line and matrix reporting relationships, enabling HR professionals at highly matrixed organisations to understand multiple reporting relationships and consider them when planning a reorganisation. - Chart consolidation & comparison
If you have a large reorganisation, you know how hard it can be to keep all employee changes in-sync. OrgPlus products have built-in consolidation, comparison and reporting tools, and allow users to see what changes have been made by various departments and consolidate them into a unified view of the workforce. - Collaboration
Reorganising is never done in a vacuum, but many software packages force HR professionals and other stakeholders to work independently. Not OrgPlus. You can collaborate with others, make changes in real-time, and share them with stakeholders in a secure online environment, or using PDF, PowerPoint or Excel reports.
