One of the biggest benefits of collecting data is capturing an enormous amount of information to gain incredible insight into your business. That’s where Power BI comes in…

1. Understand your employees’ performance and engagement better

Since employees are the most important asset to any organisation, more and more companies are using technology to enhance employee engagement.

With the right BI support, you can capitalise on technology to ensure job satisfaction, career development, and employee retention.

Low employee engagement in the workplace isn’t something new. The wave of digital transformation has caused a seismic shift, and it isn’t going to stop anytime soon.

To help, Microsoft partner HRLocker provides a business application BI tool for employee engagement and enhancing performance: Power BI.

One of the biggest challenges involves ensuring that your employees are happy and productive during office hours. Using Power BI analytics, you can start to understand how your employees are spending their time each day — which is especially useful when working remotely. It can help discover if they are struggling on projects, allowing you to step in and offer help where needed. It is also an excellent tool for spotting potential burnout when employees are over-performing.

It serves your business by helping reduce employee churn. The data can help you measure employee engagement, which in turn helps you manage your people to ensure they remain happy and productive.

2. Connect your HR metrics with your business metrics

HR metrics enable human resources executives to track and measure performance across different aspects and ultimately predict future trends.

HR analytics, also called people analytics, is the quantification of people drivers on business outcomes. Analytics measures why something is happening and what the impact is.

HR metrics also track what are known as “soft skills” — skills that are not easily measured, such as social skills, ability to collaborate, work ethic, and integrity. Certain soft skills are critical when you examine the effect they have on a company’s bottom line.

These HR metrics can be combined with your business metrics using Power BI to increase both productivity and profitability. Ways to connect these metrics include encouraging collaborative working, providing targeted training where needed, and recognising and rewarding efforts. This demonstrates to employees that support is available when required.

3. Build reports and metrics with trusted, up-to-date information

Transform your business by relying on accurate reports that reflect workplace productivity. With HRLocker’s Power BI solution, you can feel secure knowing you can trust the information received.

This leads to numerous benefits, such as reducing month-end reporting lead times by automating financial processes, empowering data-driven decision making, and enabling strategic analysis with real-time reporting.

Businesses can combine data from their chosen cloud applications with internal databases to gain greater operational insight.

4. Automate standard reporting processes

Microsoft Power BI shows you how your reports are being used and who is using them. It can also determine whether reports are accessed via the web or mobile app.

Usage metrics enable you to monitor report performance — for example, determining typical report opening times broken down by consumption method and browser type. Knowing how content is consumed helps you evaluate impact and prioritise efforts.

Usage metrics might reveal that one report is accessed daily by many staff members or, conversely, that a dashboard is not being accessed at all. Modern workspaces in Power BI provide improved usage metric reports to discover who is using reports across the organisation, how they are using them, and identify potential performance issues.

In summary, using HRLocker with Power BI provides deeper insights into employee performance, highlights issues that need addressing, and identifies achievements to reward!
