Our process: a proven method for unlocking HR performance and ROI

1

Audit data quality and HRIS foundations

  • Audit foundational data sources within the HRIS, including employee demographics, job history, and employment status. Identify and document inconsistencies, missing fields, or data entry errors that compromise analytic reliability. Establish a clean, standardized baseline to ensure data integrity and accurate reporting.
2

Review HR action/action reason codes

  • Evaluate the current set of HR action and action/reason codes used to track employee changes such as hires, promotions, terminations, and transfers.
  • Assess code usage for clarity, consistency, and compliance.
  • Align tracking definitions with organizational policies to support accurate audits, analytics, and workforce reporting.
3

Assess organizational structure and hierarchy alignment

  • Examine reporting relationships, departmental structures, and cost center hierarchies for alignment with business goals. Identify gaps or misalignments resulting from reorganizations, mergers, or business strategy shifts. Recommend structural adjustments to improve workforce planning, budgeting, and organizational agility.
4

Configure benchmarking and metrics dashboard

  • Define and configure dashboards, scorecards, and key metrics aligned to organizational priorities. Include indicators such as turnover, time to fill, pay equity, internal mobility, and productivity.
