Universal Problem in TA - Under-utilized & Disconnected Data

Workforce Analytics Can Resolve This Problem

Does this sound familiar?

“We have lots of data but we’re challenged for time and resources to wade through it. We’re in need of a solution to resolve the fact we have spreadsheet upon spreadsheet but little means of drawing insight from them or connecting the data in meaningful ways.”

Or how about this?

“Having data was not our problem, we have always had lots of data. The issue lies in being able to draw insights from the data. We face barriers of time and resources as well as issues related to proliferation of the data in multiple systems that aren’t connected.”

If either (or both) of these sound familiar, don’t worry, you’re in good company. Both of these quotes come from interviews with VPs of Human Resources and Talent. Truth be told, we could fill an entire book with comments and quotes from talent Leaders expressing the exact same sentiment. In fact, it’s so common, we call it the Universal Problem. It happens when, despite an abundance of data there are challenges bringing it together, making connections across systems, and making sense of it all to drive better business outcomes.
