Only 14% of organisations today have achieved digital maturity, according to our 2018 Artificial Intelligence and Digital Talent Survey. Using data analytics to support digital strategy is one of the key actions that helped these 'digital leaders' to sprint ahead of the rest. On the flip side, digital novices say that a lack of data insights is one of the major challenges in their digital transformation journey.
Pay data is multi-faceted and complex. Traditional methods and manual tools are no longer suitable for the increasingly complicated work of compensation management. In part one of this series, we looked at some of the immediate improvements to expect from an integrated approach to compensation data and software – a boost in productivity, data quality and cybersecurity. We now shift focus to using data analytics and insights to drive HR strategy and support compensation decisions.
Automated and on-demand data reporting from an intuitive platform can reduce the numerous manual routines involved in assembling pay data. At the click of a button, compensation professionals can have immediate access to massive amounts of data, bringing you straight towards more insightful analytics.
The existence of advanced data analytics software has bigger implications for compensation professionals, besides technological enablement. Essentially, it presents a huge opportunity to reinvent how you perform compensation work.
Why reinvent compensation management?
Today's compensation professionals are facing immense pressure to take Total Rewards programs to the next level. There are new jobs and new skills to understand.
