Workforce planning is the process by which a company forecasts its future human resources needs and personnel costs. It helps CHROs and CFOs make decisions based on data — how many people the company will need, in which positions, and at what cost.

How does personnel cost planning work in Humanet?
HR or the CFO creates a plan. They import the organizational structure from Humanet or set it up manually. Cost items are assigned to each position and employee: wage, surcharges, rewards, contributions. When something changes — an onboarding, a departure, a transfer, or a wage change — the system recalculates the plan automatically. You can work with multiple versions and scenarios at once, compare them, and see the impact of every change on the budget before making a final decision. The result? The CFO gets a cost overview in one click, and the CHRO can answer any question about the organization’s future state.

What our customers say
“Cooperation is excellent. We really appreciate having everything in one system and that the solution also works in operational and logistics environments, where a large share of employees do not have a computer. We would definitely recommend Humanet.”
Eva Gunišová
Head of HR
“We were looking for a system that would be clear, user-friendly, and keep everything under one roof — and we found Humanet. A system with added human value. Humanet is built on people who are partners to us, and whenever we call them, they understand us and come up with the best solution.”
Aleš Daubner
HR Director
“Humanet helped us unify attendance and replace both Excel and an outdated attendance system. Employees can now check their own attendance, the manager approves it, and the HR department mainly handles the approval check. Processing is approximately 70% faster and we can approve attendance with a single click.”
Jana Fabušová
HR Generalist
“We avoided manual payroll processing and all the spreadsheets. We now process payroll faster.”
Daniela Falaštová
Human Resources Specialist
“We wanted a simple solution for people and solid processes for HR. Humanet brought us order, fast mobile requests, and more time for patients.”
Denisa Andelková
HR Specialist
“During a Social Insurance Agency audit, the exports were instant, efficient, and took minimal time. The audit went smoothly and we received a positive assessment.”
Jana Ševčíková
Human Resource Director CZ&SK
“What I value most about Humanet is the flexibility in approving and managing attendance. The system reduced our administrative burden, sped up processes, and we fully digitized our entire attendance workflow — we approve absences electronically, quickly and easily.”

Marcel Vlček

“Working with Humanet, I’m confident that my data is safe and I trust it. I like the option to expand Humanet with additional modules as needed. The Training module made it easier for us to track training sessions and medical checkups — everything is neatly linked to specific individuals.”
Andrea Fabianová
HR Manager
“We manage both leave and sick leave directly in the Humanet attendance system — no paperwork. Data transfers automatically to the next system, so we never deal with anything twice. Whenever I need something, I always turn to your service desk — I know you’ll help.”
Petra Kalčoková
HR Manager
“Even though we hadn’t used attendance software before, what suits us most about Humanet is its cloud accessibility.”
Igor Obšajsník
Director

“Thanks to the cloud, our system is available online at any time — no servers, no additional costs.

We have the entire workload organized in one system and all data stays accessible even when the HR person changes.”
Zuzana Šabová
Account manager
“As a young start-up company, we chose Humanet because no upfront investment was needed to acquire software, and we welcomed the option to connect from anywhere. After three years of use, we’re very satisfied — we appreciate the simple and fast data entry, the excellent phone support from the provider, and of course, legislation always updated on time.”
