To gain insight into the demographics of their workforce and more effectively leverage their human capital around the globe, companies in multiple industries are turning to human resources solutions from Hyperion (Nasdaq Global Select: HYSL), the global leader in Business Performance Management (BPM) software.
Companies are increasingly recognizing the importance of measuring the return on their investment in personnel-related expenses, such as recruiting, direct compensation, training, benefits, and outsourcing. In addition to implementing Hyperion software to streamline financial operations, these organizations are extending their use of Hyperion’s BPM and business intelligence (BI) capabilities into workforce reporting and analysis. Expanding the use of Hyperion System 9 software can help human resources managers, business line managers, and company executives:
* Consolidate and integrate enterprise data sources to create a single system for human resources reporting and analysis, which complements and leverages the workforce data in enterprise resource planning (ERP) and human resource transaction systems
* Gain critical insight into the impact of human capital spending on corporate strategy and objectives
* Synchronize workforce-related expense plans with the financial budgeting and forecasting process to create a consolidated view of the workforce and its productivity
* Decrease manual reporting effort and reliance on IT for custom reports with self-serve analysis of the workforce along any dimension: by function, level, department, geographical location, length of service, etc.
* Integrate consolidated data with existing planning and reporting processes and internal measurement tools for immediate, accurate insight into workforce demographics, diversity, compensation, hiring, attrition, and performance trends
Creating a single, worldwide business intelligence system for human resources benefits organizations by allowing more time for higher value analysis and decision making, shortening compliance reporting cycles, creating greater confidence in reported results, and identifying top human capital drivers to allow for the allocation of human resources investments to drive company success.
“With approximately 18,000 unionized employees located in multiple facilities across several states, it was an arduous and time consuming task to gather the information necessary to support union contract negotiations,†said Dan Rodriguez, assistant general counsel for Tenet Healthcare. “Hyperion’s modeling capabilities coupled with Hitachi Consulting’s deep knowledge of human capital and their ability to partner with Tenet to deliver a time critical solution focused on wages, benefits, employee tenure, and financial performance have enabled us to anticipate likely negotiation scenarios and quickly develop supporting positions and counter proposals based on factual data.â€
