Case Study: ConAgra Foods achieves fact-based workforce decisions and rapid people insights with Visier Workforce Analytics

From Intuition to Fact-Based Decision Making

ConAgra Foods, a Fortune 200 consumer-packaged goods company with over 36,000 employees, faced a common enterprise challenge: HR data was hard to access, inconsistent, and produced numerous manual, error-prone reports. Their HRIS and custom analytics tool lacked intuitive, predictive, self‑service capabilities, leaving key initiatives—retention, recruitment, diversity—without the full range of data needed for fact‑based decisions.

ConAgra implemented Visier Workforce Analytics in 30 days, ingesting four years of daily data to answer 300+ workforce questions. The solution revealed both strengths (world‑class top‑talent retention) and risks (rising turnover in successor roles and attrition concentrated in a specific demographic), enabling laser‑focused retention programs, demonstrable HR ROI, and the rollout of Visier Workforce Planning to optimize workforce allocation and drive multi‑million dollar savings from modest improvements.
