A complete overview of the Workforce Planning module
Radix Workforce Planning gives HR, Finance and Strategy a single, collaborative source of truth for headcount, cost and capability decisions. Instead of emailing spreadsheets in circles, leaders model scenarios side by side — driver-based, capacity-linked, capability-ramp — and approve a plan that flows directly to hiring, succession, learning and finance. Continuous re-planning replaces an annual exercise that goes stale by Q2.
Business problems this module solves
If any of these sound familiar, you are paying the cost of a missing platform — in time, money and employee trust.
Spreadsheet planning
Headcount plans live in conflicting workbooks that nobody trusts by the second month of the year.
HR / Finance disconnect
HR and finance plan in separate tools with separate definitions of role, cost and FTE.
Reactive hiring
Hiring decisions get made one role at a time without a clear link to strategy or capability gaps.
Stale plans
Once approved, the plan rarely gets refreshed even as markets and assumptions shift.
Key features of Workforce Planning

Works with the tools you already run
Frequently asked questions
Can I run multiple scenarios?
Yes. Compare unlimited scenarios side-by-side with cost, FTE, span and capability deltas.
Does it integrate with FP&A tools?
Yes. Export plans to Anaplan, Workday Adaptive, Oracle EPM, SAP and Excel with full reconciliation.
How is capability data sourced?
Capability data comes from Radix Career Development's skill cloud and external assessments.
Can finance and HR collaborate?
Yes. Multi-user collaboration with comments, approvals and version history keeps everyone aligned.
How granular can plans get?
Plan at the entity, function, location, level and role level — with rollups to the enterprise — and adjust granularity per scenario.
Can finance and HR collaborate live?
Yes. Multi-user editing, comments, version history and approval workflows keep HR, FP&A and business leaders aligned in one workspace.
Does the platform support what-if modelling?
Yes. Run what-if analysis on attrition shocks, productivity changes, growth scenarios and structural changes with instant cost and capability impact.
How does this tie to actual hiring?
Approved positions flow as requisitions into the ATS with budget guardrails and burn-down tracking, so hiring stays inside plan.
