Is Your HR Analytics strategy on the right path?

HR Analytics has become a critical strategic effort. However, is your strategy really a "long view" strategy? Or is it just tactical?

Stakeholder Access: Getting the strategic reporting capability to non-HR users without unnecessarily compromising the data security and privacy of employee information. Reach all levels of the organization:

  • Executive
  • Region/Unit Manager
  • Line Manager
  • Employee

Privacy & Security: Excel, MS Access, flat files, etc. are NOT secure ways to replicate and store HR data.

  • Separate the atomic data from aggregate data in report deployment and access
  • Secure atomic (Employee) level data storage areas and encrypt as company or country policy requires.
  • Eliminate usage of text files, Excel sheets, MS Access for storing employee data locally and on networks (even if they are password protected).
