Streamlining government HR: Mastering workforce visualisation and modelling

by | Jul 25, 2024

For state and federal government agencies, effective visualisation and management of HR data are crucial for optimising operations and strategic decision-making. Modern software solutions can streamline the handling of employee information and support comprehensive workforce planning.

By leveraging tools like org.manager, HR departments can gain valuable insights, improve accuracy and foster better decision-making that contributes to overall organisational success.

Current challenges for state and federal government HR teams

Here’s 3 common challenges faced by government HR teams today:

Dirty HR data spread across different sources: State and federal governments in Australia and New Zealand often struggle with inconsistent and inaccurate HR data spread across multiple systems. This fragmentation can lead to inefficient processes and unreliable reporting, complicating decision-making and management.

Difficulty in visualising large workforces: Managing and understanding complex, large-scale workforces can be challenging for government agencies. The inability to effectively visualise organisational structures makes it difficult to identify roles, reporting lines and overall workforce dynamics, leading to inefficiencies.

Ineffective workforce modelling and planning: Accurate workforce modelling and planning are crucial for anticipating future staffing needs and optimising resource allocation. Governments face challenges in forecasting workforce requirements, managing talent gaps and planning effectively amidst changing policies and demands.

It involves identifying the skills needed across various departments and aligning recruitment, training and development strategies to fulfil those requirements.

Visualisation examples that are proven to enable government HR teams

Data cleansing report
This report highlights missing fields and errors with the help of visualisation rules, enabling managers to correct bad data easily. While the vacancy list report (scroll to the right) helps you surface long term vacancies that need to be actioned (either to be deleted or resurfaced), as well as any critical positions that remain vacant.

Organisation hierarchy chart
Interactive org charts simplify management by clearly depicting the structure of government institutions. They show the hierarchy and relationships among departments, making oversights and communication easier. This helps improve productivity, employee satisfaction, decision-making, communication and onboarding.

Workforce modelling
Create a copy of your current org structure (the ‘now‘), so you can create multiple what-if scenarios (the ‘model‘) so you can design the optimal organisational plan. The ability to model the future state of the organisation and compare it to the current state is vital to help drive fact-based decisions and analysis to determine the most favourable course of action.
