The Benefits of Using Infor Workforce Management
Deploying Infor WFM transforms workforce management into a strategic advantage. Here are its most impactful benefits:
1. Enhanced Efficiency
Infor WFM’s automated scheduling eliminates manual errors and reduces administrative burdens. Using real-time data, organizations can track attendance, allocate resources effectively, and minimize downtime.
For example, automated time clocks seamlessly capture working hours, ensuring accurate payroll management without additional reconciliation.
2. Regulatory Compliance Made Easy
With Infor WFM, staying compliant is simple. The platform includes built-in compliance tracking tools to ensure that work schedules, overtime, and labor laws align with industry regulations across different regions. Businesses in highly regulated sectors—such as healthcare and manufacturing—particularly benefit from this functionality.
3. Optimized Scheduling for Complex Operations
Dynamic environments require flexible workforce strategies. WFM’s advanced scheduling tools analyze employee availability, skill sets, and demand forecasts to create optimized schedules that align with business objectives.
For retail and hospitality sectors, effective scheduling ensures sufficient staffing during peak hours while mitigating labor costs during slower periods.

A seamless, transparent workforce experience fosters employee satisfaction. Infor WFM’s mobile capabilities allow employees to access schedules, request time off, and track work hours directly from their devices. This transparency builds trust between employers and their teams while reducing employee turnover.
