Plan and help implement an organizational and workforce transformation through a single integrated service that incorporates workforce planning, design, talent management and organizational alignment. This includes:

Strategic workforce planning: Identify gaps and develop skills and capabilities in the workforce to best meet business and customer needs and to confirm the right number of people with the right skills are deployed in the right place at the right time.
Work enablement: Improve productivity by providing the optimal infrastructure, technology, process and resources to the workforce, putting humans at center and helping enable technology at speed.
Transition planning: Select which individuals will fill which roles in the organization structure and plan the transition so that resources are developed and deployed in the most effective and efficient manner.
Network alignment: Align formal structures and reporting lines with existing proven, productive organizational networks (organizational network analysis).
Learning and development: Using EYSpotMentor, an automated intelligence-based platform, identify the health index of a company’s skill inventory and automate workforce upskilling and reskilling.
When companies make a workforce change, they can spend weeks trying to envision different scenarios. Our data-driven approach helps accelerate decision-making, planning, design and implementation of operational and organizational models needed to deliver on transformation and M&A strategy, modelling real-time, business and related workforce scenarios, and planning the transition and track benefits. This includes:

Operating model and organization design: Review the operating model, including people, technology, process and data and structure to improve the organization’s ability to deliver a greater value at lower cost.
Use insights, benchmarks and design principles to redesign the organization. Plan the implementation support and track realization of the new organizational model, with associated benefits.
EY Organization and Talent Hub: Intelligent, cloud-based technology platform pulls current organizational, employee and total rewards data on a regular basis to facilitate organization design and planning. It leverages proprietary algorithms to understand the current workforce and translate forward-looking scenarios into resources needed to deliver on the business strategy. It starts and ends with understanding capacity, capability, composition and cost associated with your workforce. It further helps you to:
Develop drag-and-drop visualizations, and support various analyses and detailed cost projection scenarios
Model different future state organization and workforce scenarios across customizable parameters, including organizational structure, job family, roles or individual employees
Identify potential cost and operating model alternatives to create detailed plans aligned to your financial parameters and objectives
A longer-term transformation requires development of new skill sets; it can be costly and damaging to morale to lay people off and replace them with new hires. It is beneficial to use scientifically validated intervention techniques to build capabilities, skills and behaviors and reach your strategic goals. With our workforce agility solution, you can:

Develop and deploy resources in the most effective and efficient manner by connecting succession and transition planning into the future organization design.
Use benchmark and AI-driven insights to identify future skills, assess your current workforce against those needs, and plan workforce skills development both at scale and at the individual level.
Improve productivity by providing the optimal infrastructure, technology, process and resources to the workforce at the right time.
