Getting the Data You Need to Be More Strategic

As we HR professionals transition to more strategic roles in our organizations, one of the things we need is data. Data on employee performance, the competencies that exist within our organizations, skill gaps, retirement or departure plans, employee satisfaction and engagement, turnover, and more.

One of the best places to get some of this important data is from our employee performance reviews. It’s amazing what data currently exists there, if only we can gather and analyze it. And if you’re not currently gathering some of the data you need, it can often be easy to add a competency, question or category to your employee evaluation forms so you can start to collect it. Of course, that’s where an automated talent management system with real-time reporting comes in handy. Halogen eAppraisal makes it really easy to generate and filter reports so you can get the data you need to support strategic decisions.
