Infor Workforce Management (Infor WFM) is an AI-powered platform for labor planning, scheduling, time and attendance, payroll and compliance, sold as a stand-alone offering or alongside Infor HCM. The platform schedules staff in real time based on demand, skills, availability and preferences, tracks time and attendance from anywhere, and integrates payroll to reduce errors and tighten compliance. It is built for organizations with large, complex frontline workforces across manufacturing, healthcare, public sector, and other industries, with deep integration and robust cloud security standards.
"This recognition reflects the work we've put into helping organizations run their frontline workforce more effectively. Healthcare providers, retailers, and public sector organizations are managing increasingly complex staffing demands, and we're focused on giving them the tools to do that with less administrative burden and better outcomes for their people,” said Brianna Zink, VP, Industry & Solution Strategy at Infor.
Organizations using Infor WFM have reported measurable results, including:
- 11-14% reduction in lost productivity costs
- 8-12% decrease in employee turnover
- 10-12% average reduction in cost of payroll and legal non-compliance
Healthcare is among the industries seeing the clearest impact from Infor WFM, where complex shift coverage, compliance requirements and staff burnout make workforce management especially high-stakes. At Children's of Alabama, one of the largest pediatric medical facilities in the US, Infor WFM modernized nurse scheduling. “Our supervisors were able to cut the time spent on closing the pay period in half,” said Gina Seekers, HRIS Director at Children's of Alabama. “Employees have more control over their schedule.”
