Hi Gang,

We completed the 2025 budget process and archived the data in both a snapshot and saved data metrics across multiple apps. I’ve created a budget restatement capability for OPEX and CAPEX, which was relatively straightforward since it’s essentially a register of debits and credits.

However, we’re facing significant challenges in building something similar for workforce (WF) management. The complexity arises from various factors: positions can transfer between departments, new positions can be approved, and we also need to adjust other fields—such as termination dates—to backdate and align with planning done outside of Pigment. WF is particularly challenging due to the downstream calculations involved, including benefits, payroll taxes, bonuses, etc. We can’t simply input new headcount (HC) numbers and dollar values, as we rely on the model to perform these calculations.

Has anyone developed a budget adjustment capability for workforce management? If so, what did it look like?

Hi @julian_s,

 

Not sure if you’ve already exhausted the available resources within your Workspace, but we do offer some templates for Workforce Management that might help with this. If you haven’t accessed Templates before you can get there via the Applications section of your Workspace. The Templates button is located in the top right corner of the page, next to the New Application button. There we offer three Workforce Planning templates for different use cases. 

If you’ve already explored the Templates, the next step would be to put you in touch with a Pigment modelling expert who can help guide you through this process. This is generally something that would be handled by your CSM. 

If you can provide some details on your Pigment Workspace (the Workspace name, your company name or the name of the Primary Owner), I can take a closer look at what you’ve done so far and either point you to some further publicly available resources or, if you like, reach out to your CSM to put in you in touch with some modelling experts. 

 

Cheers,

Marty

Thanks Marty. I just ended up duplicating this existing WF management tooling so that I could run a concurrent budget roster that runs through all of the calcs needed to generate payroll outputs. We needed the capability to make budget adjustments through the year so in in the long run it was worth the time spent.
