Through its combined Workforce AI and planning tools, Visier enables organizations to adapt to continuous change—whether driven by skills shortages, talent mobility, social dynamics, or the integration of AI agents to improve efficiency and productivity.
In support of its ongoing innovation strategy, Visier has also introduced significant enhancements to its Workforce Planning and Budgeting solution. The latest updates provide greater flexibility and configurability, featuring improved security, advanced analytics, and new customization options for aligning planning models with organizational priorities.
