Workforce Planning Meets CSRD: Architecting Audit‑Ready Human Capital Reporting
Designing controls and processes that keep CSRD reporting consistent and decision-ready
This session walks through how a company created a CSRD-ready people-data framework without adding unnecessary bureaucracy. It covers how required metrics were mapped to systems and owners, how controls were embedded and how planning cycles were adjusted to ensure consistency between internal assumptions and external disclosures. Delegates will gain a clear, practical view of how to build a human-capital reporting model that is coherent, compliant and genuinely useful for workforce planning and performance conversations.

Why this matters
CSRD raises the bar for transparency and assurance in workforce reporting. Organisations must now provide robust, consistent, audit-ready data on key people metrics and show how these relate to strategy, risks and performance. HR, Finance and People Analytics leaders are under pressure to align systems, definitions and planning cycles while avoiding unwieldy reporting structures.
