During the 1980s, WFM dealt with finding the right person for the right job at the right time and organizations were heavily focused on scheduling these employees as and when they were needed. It was only about forecasting the actual results and setting up the early warning systems to identify the demands and required changes. Gradually, it starting gaining importance due to expansions in the working sector and changing Human Resource (HR) activities. Therefore, WFM solutions started providing organizations with better forecasting and scheduling plans, acquiring real-time information, and planning & managing information effectively for better business plans. These software solutions were used for time and attendance management, compensation management, and performance management.
As the market grows, the adoption of software solutions such as workforce analytics and performance management is increasing at a fast pace. This high growth is attributed to the need to understand raw data for useful business outcomes and retention of talented employees in the company. Apart from the solutions, the services segment is expected to showcase high growth in the years to come. The implementation services segment is expected to grow at the highest Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR).
