Sift, Organizational intelligence platform, which is known for its people intelligence services, including workforce visibility via interactive organizational charts and employee directories, has introduced a new product called Sift Org Planning. This solution will enable HR executives and business leaders to create, compare and exchange their ideas about possible organizational structures using actual HRIS-synced workforce data in a real-time and secure manner.
Sift Org Planning launches amid the fast-evolving world of modern workforce design, impacted by three core market dynamics of 2026:
AI Adoption Acceleration: Both generative and agentic AI is disrupting functional jobs faster than traditional job architectures can keep up, requiring HR leaders to consider their workforce skills instead of their job descriptions.
Higher M&A Volume: The higher number of deals in the global market means more pressure on the speed of post-merger integrations.
Skills-Based Planning: Innovative companies are moving towards skill-set-based planning instead of title and headcount-focused.
The traditional way of creating an organizational structure is using static slides and separate spreadsheets that quickly become outdated during the real-time planning process. With Sift Org Planning, such operational problems are solved with scenario planning embedded in the organization chart itself.

“HR teams have always had to leave their org chart to plan the future of their org. Sift Org Planning closes that gap – not by adding another workflow tool, but by turning the org chart itself into a shared canvas where HR leaders and business leaders can design around capability, not just structure, and see the impact of every decision together before anything is announced.” – Larry Angeli, CEO, Sift.
Dynamic Scenario Modeling Engineered for Modern Reorganizations
Sift Org Planning creates secure, isolated scenario copies built directly on live HRIS data-preventing plans from becoming outdated while ensuring operational changes remain confidential. Key product features include:
Data Feeds for Real-Time Data Integration: Constant ingestion of data from sources of record such as Workday, UKG, ATS, and custom CSV feeds.
Drag and Drop Interactive Editor: Helps planners move job roles and people at the same time between teams and organizational structures.
Node Creation for Customization: Allows teams to create new job roles, vacancies, or even new departments – helping deal with quick hiring surges and mergers & acquisitions.
The Bench Functionality: Creates a staging ground where employees can be kept for a while before they are assigned their jobs.
Financial and Headcount Analytics in Real-Time: Instant calculation of the impact that organizational changes have on headcounts and labor costs.
History and Collaboration: Tracks all changes made to organizational structure while allowing leaving comments on nodes for future collaboration regarding possible skills gaps or reporting issues.
Bridging Capability Context with Structural Design
Since Sift Org Planning is integrated with the complete employee records of Sift, it becomes easy for managers to view the skills and experience of employees as well as any projects that they may be currently working on. The benefit of such a feature for CHROs, finance, and business unit heads is that they can assess the skills of their employees as well as the cost implications while restructuring through AI.
With the consolidation of workforce planning in one single safe canvas, Sift removes the chances of version control and leakages.
