A variety of tools support the workforce planning process,ranging from simple templates to sophisticated AI-powered platforms. 

The right tool depends on your organization’s size and maturity. Basic tools include Excel or Google Sheets templates for tracking headcount and forecasting budgets. 

More advanced tools include dedicated workforce planning software like Anaplan, Visier, or SAP SuccessFactors, which offer integrated analytics and modeling. 

Other valuable tools include organizational charting software (e.g., Lucidchart), skills mapping applications, and predictive analytics tools. 

The goal of any tool is to provide clarity, improve accuracy, and facilitate data-driven decision-making.
