The Value of HR Technologies: Metrics and Stories
This latest White Paper, compiled by CedarCrestone’s
Research and Analytics team, seeks to uncover the value achieved
from various workforce technologies based on ten years of research as well as three in-depth customer
case studies showcasing the benefits and impact these organizations achieved from going global, talent management applications, or Web 2.0 solutions.
The CedarCrestone 2007–2008 HR Systems Survey finds that HR technologies and the processes they
impact are making a difference. Key findings include these: top performers are more efficient (higher
number of people served and lower costs per employee), more frequently use PeopleSoft for their
HR record keeping, actually overall have less talent management technology, and are using more
business intelligence applications. The applications that make the most difference are an
HR-oriented help desk application and competency management.
The Survey is the longest running survey on the state of workforce technologies
adoption and how to configure service delivery to improve performance. The report is based on
466 responses, from small to large global and non-global organizations. The survey scope is
broad, covering the following:
Initiatives underway related to technologies and service delivery to improve human
capital management
Applications including self service, talent management, and business intelligence now in
use and planned, vendor choices, success factors and barriers
Scope of outsourcing (process, technology infrastructure, and people who support HR
technologies)
Expenditures to date and estimated budgets for these choices
Results achieved (including employee/HR staff ratios and administrative costs per employee)
All the pieces are now in place for 2007 to be the year of
full-throttle implementation of metrics-based management with the deployment of
warehouses, reporting functionality and analytics fine-tuned to include the
workforce contribution to enterprise performance management. Report contents include the following:
Executive Summary
