Revitalizing HR Analytics in a Global Biopharmaceutical Company
About the Company: Operating on a worldwide scale, the company is a well-established biopharmaceutical company with a vast network of employees, contractors, and managers.
Challenges
The organization confronted substantial hurdles concerning their HR data. Managers lacked the crucial insights required for decision-making, and generating vital reports took months, involving significant IT & HR resources. Despite utilizing internal and external programmers and data specialists for two years, the desired HR Analytics for evidence-based leadership remained elusive.
In the words of a company leader: “We tried for 2 years to work with our internal IT experts to get managers the report they needed. We were about to sign up with another company that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars more on a 6-to-12-month project that would have delivered less.“
The merger with another major corporation added to the complexity of the disconnected data sources. As the company once again set its sights on HR analytics capabilities, it became vital to keep their confidential HR data secure.
The Solution
In less than 8 weeks, Agile HR Analytics provided the much-needed management reports. Operating entirely within the company’s secured tenant, Agile HR guaranteed 100% data security, building trust and confidence. Personal employee data was thoroughly masked, providing secure analytics for managers across varying levels and locations.
Result
Implementing Agile HR’s unique and scalable data model, AI powered data transformation with advanced analytical dashboards allowed the company to extract previously unattainable value.
As the CHRO noted, “I’ve worked at far larger mature companies, but this is the first time I’ve had this type of data and insights at my fingertips. I’m thrilled with this foundation. The power of this data and insights in real-time will unlock a ton of potential in how we can leverage our people analytics power to drive better business impact!”
