Myles Halliday, Vice President, Product Management at Payworks Featured in DIALOGUE Magazine
April 4, 2018 – Analytics: An Indispensable Business Tool - Do you find it challenging to report on or compare data across years? If you were asked to report all bonuses or overtime paid out by pay period over the last two years, how long would it take you? Do you know your current headcount? Do you know your turnover rates by department? By using analytics, these types of questions can be answered in less than 30 seconds.
Payroll and HR departments have been expected to produce accurate and timely reports with limited access to the right information at the right time and in the right format. It’s difficult to stay informed of trends and events within a business and its workforce without the correct tools. Analytics is the solution that solves these challenges.
