CAPTure Software

CAPTure - the World's First Strategic Workforce Planning Software that Guides You to Actively Design Your Future Workforce

You know that to deliver results into the future you'll need the right strategy and the right team. But how do you ensure that your future workforce is closely aligned with your desired future state?

The truth is, it's not easy - you have to consider a large volume of internal and external data and you also need to interpret and transform that data into a plan that strategic and operational sense, using a process that is guided, consistent and easy to understand.

That's where CAPTure Strategic Workforce Planning software can help.


A New Kind of HR Tool

CAPTure is a new kind of HR tool, introducing true strategic planning to the human resources function.

    

In a changing talent market, CAPTure enables organizations to identify, design and attain the right strategic workforce by providing management with visibility into their true talent challenges and offering the decision tools they need to direct the organization.

CAPTure Helps You With:

  1. Defining Your Current State – Present a rich picture of the workforce and collect critical information to drive forward looking workforce plans not solely on measures of what happened in the past. This Current State process is mostly automated, the manual effort to ascertain strategic alignment and capability is relatively low, and a valuable exercise in itself. There is no requirement for the heavy burden of comprehensive job requirement and employee skills analyses, although of course these are supported if the data is available.

  2. Forecasting and Analyzing No Change Future State - This is a very powerful automated view of the impacts of your current trends and behaviors. As with the Current State, you select which metrics and measures are appropriate to you.

  3. Scenario Planning Your Future Workforce - The real power of CAPTure comes into play when you start scenario planning. You are able to examine the impact of any change in your internal or external factors, and evaluate where they will take you.

  4. Sizing the Gaps and Driving Action - To make informed choices, you must analyze and assess the gaps between your scenarios and your no change future state. This analysis is essential to enable you to choose a scenario as you targeted future – and commence action planning to get there. CAPTure provides graphical assessment as well as detailed analysis, and suggests appropriate solutions to close the gaps, based on the decisions you have made about possible programs. It then aids action planning to establish programs and plans to close your gaps, with defined milestones to enable automated progress checking.

  5. Recommending Solutions - HR holds a lot of expertise about the impacts particular programs and policies have on the workforce, and of course different HR interventions have different effects on different parts of the workforce. For example, flexible working hours are particularly appealing to parents of young children, and can enable employers to get better workers for the salary offered. CAPTure can get this sort of knowledge into the hands of managers, so they can make better decisions about how to manage their workforce for the future. CAPTure recommends programs and solutions that offer the best match to the needs of the group.

  6. Supporting Targeted, Effective HR Strategies - CAPTure supports the entire organization to create comprehensive workforce plans and HR action plans which are targeted to the individual business units and job functions, but of course it is also critical to present the aggregate information in the best way to support organization wide strategies, such as recruitment/selection, compensation, training development, performance management, etc. The rich picture of the future workforce, and of the gaps and challenges faced, support the best possible targeting of all HR strategies.

  7. Analyzing HR Programs - One of the key side benefits of good workforce planning is the ability to analyze the use and uptake of HR programs and interventions. By examining your workforce plan you can see which employee groups are benefiting from HR’s work. This enables HR to make informed decisions about their budgets, and to effectively justify their programs to the business.
