Agentnoon is a Google Sheet alternative for workforce planning that is user friendly, always up-to-date, and has built-in confidentiality controls.
First, we acknowledge that Google Sheets is a flexible tool. You can use it for just about anything which makes it great for simple workforce planning for organizations that have less than 50 employees.
But the general purpose nature of Google Sheets has a few limitations that prevent it from being a great workforce planning tool for companies with >50 employees. Workforce planning is done best when it is collaborative, confidential, and visual.
Workforce plans can be changed 5-10 times before there is alignment on the way forward, for each plan there are 7-10 copies (for confidentiality) so you have about 30-50 Google Sheets, and a lot of human attention needed to keep everything organized. All of this can be very difficult to do in a Google Sheet and often requires weeks to get done. With Agentnoon, you can make confidential workforce plans in minutes, not months. Let us show you how.

We Built Agentnoon To Model Complex Scenarios
Google Sheets isn’t a great solution for companies with more than 50 employees. It’s good when managing a few rows for a small number of individuals, but larger teams are too complex to be modeled on rows and columns.

Salary Benchmarks
Raises
Promotions
Planed Hires
Location Based Hires and so on...

Things start to get tough to manage quickly. We have seen many companies attempt to do this on Google Sheets, but it’s just too hard to do it right on rows and columns. You need visualization to make sense of it all.

No More Manual Updates That Take Hours
With Google Sheets, you have to keep your workforce plans updated manually. Go into your HR systems, download a CSV export, upload it to Google Sheets, clean up the data, format the cells, and so on. You need someone to work on it for a few days every month to maintain it.

Intuitive UX/UI That is Collaborative and Easy to Use
Google Sheets is flexible but hard to collaborate on when making workforce plans. On top of that, not every executive team member / department head is an expert on Google Sheets making the process that much harder.

In Agentnoon, each executive team member can make visual plans for their teams using drag and drop UI. Plans are confidential by nature and can be shared to collaborate on live. Once plans are finalized, they can be submitted for approval in one centralized place where the CEO or any other decision maker can approve or reject changes.
