Taking a strategic approach to workforce planning helps organizations achieve ambitious business goals, maximize workforce potential, and stay competitive in a rapidly changing environment. Amidst so much uncertainty, how can organizations efficiently and effectively find and hire the right people, with the right skills, for the right roles, at the right time?
Today, you’d be hard-pressed to find an HR professional who isn’t utilizing at least some data and analytics tools to tackle a wide range of human capital management responsibilities, from recruitment and retention to performance management, compensation, and benefits.
As an HR professional, how many times have you pulled from here and added to there, in hopes of putting together a more complete view of your organization? Are data quality issues or security concerns keeping you from accurately visualizing current and future talent? Does the mere mention of a merger, acquisition, or reduction in force send your team into hiding?
Rest assured, we’ve been there and you’ve come to the right place.
OrgChart is a flexible, cloud-based software solution that securely connects with your core ADP platform to automatically generate dynamic organization charts. Leveraging your ADP data, the org charts you generate provide a seamless, real-time view of your organization today — and help you envision what it could be tomorrow.
It’s difficult to make informed, strategic business decisions without a holistic, drilled-down view of your corporate structure. Your HR team may face myriad barriers to successfully understanding the makeup of your organization, including:
Integrating and aggregating data from various Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) and Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to get a comprehensive view of your organization can be especially difficult. While some organizations may be lucky enough to have all their data housed in one HRIS, the reality is that HR must often work with multiple systems to create reports. For example, one might want to compare salary information, held in a payroll system, with performance located in a separate performance management system.
OrgChart seamlessly integrates with ADP to aggregate data in a clear, visual format. You can pull data directly from your ADP account, and supplement it with data from other compatible HR data systems. OrgChart refreshes data from these sources with a single click to present data-rich visualizations of your organization’s structure.
Some immediate benefits of this integration include:
OrgChart syncs with ADP automatically on your schedule.
OrgChart lets you control the presentation of your chart with data-driven rules.
OrgChart lets you view the information you need when you need it.
With OrgChart’s robust formula creation tools, you can track employee metrics according to your needs.
View your ADP information on the chart itself, or in the customizable profile.
“I love how OrgChart integrates with our HRIS, ADP. All information automatically feeds over to the org chart, along with updates, new hires, and terms. It also interfaces with our ATS, Lever, to pull in our open requisitions.”
– Dustie M. (Mid-Market, 51-1000 employees)
To become invaluable, strategic business partners, innovative HR departments are doing more than executing the C-suite’s plan — they have a seat at the table crafting it. Whether your organization is considering an acquisition, looking to open a new location, or planning a reduction in force, make sure your HR team leads the charge with data-driven insights.
Building and analyzing an organization’s future state before decisions are made: This functionality isn’t always associated with org chart software. However, advancements and cloud computing make it possible for HR leaders to make hypothetical changes in real-time and report findings to applicable stakeholders without affecting the company’s live org chart.
OrgChart will help you:
OrgChart makes it easy to leverage the data you have now to model the organization you want later.
Tested to support customers with hundreds of thousands of employees, OrgChart is engineered to meet your current and future needs.
Whether presenting to the board of directors, management team, or employees, OrgChart provide versatile publishing options to fit your audience.

Ensuring compliance is one of the most challenging functions of HR. The ever-evolving legal landscape makes compliance time-consuming and complex. In regulated industries — such as banks, pharmaceuticals, and educational organizations — there is often a need to produce a chart for a specific point in time. For example, a response to a legal or audit request might require an org chart to be produced for how the organization was structured on a particular date in history.
This functionality takes pre-scheduled “snapshots” of org chart data — attendance, turnover, job performance, etc. — in real-time, typically on a weekly or monthly basis. You can then use this information to ensure compliance requirements are met.
By saving historical data in a readily retrievable form for audits and other regulatory controls, OrgChart enables:
Due to regularly scheduled data collection, HR knows its records are always up-to-date. HR departments now have a timely and comprehensive view of key compliance metrics, which they can then easily report and share with management and department leaders.
By regularly assessing compliance status, organizations can identify and address potential risks before they turn into bigger issues with costly penalties and fines.
Leaders are more likely to comply with requirements when they have an easy path to doing so. When compliance is an easy metric to measure, an organization’s leaders can focus their time and resources on their core business objectives.

“OrgChart hooks directly into Active Directory to allow for ‘one source of the truth’ to be used. Our administrative team needed to frequently update Organization Chart information for compliance reports etc. OrgChart makes it happen much more easily.”
– Gary C.K. (Mid-Market, 51-1000 employees)
During the pandemic, workforce planning became a critical function for all organizations, regardless of size, industry, or geography. The HR department had to respond to unprecedented changes in the business environment and effectively manage a primarily remote workforce.
With the increasing pace of technological change and disruption in the global economy, workforce planning has become even more critical for organizations to remain competitive and to adapt to new challenges and opportunities.
How can HR best contribute to hiring strategy meetings to inform and guide senior management to approve what’s best for the company’s future? For executives who aren’t in the weeds of HR data on a day-to-day basis, a clear, visual representation of the data is key.
