Vurv’s announcement about their acquisition of PBN for offboarding and workforce analytics underscores for me the movement of the industry toward integrated, embedded analytics:

“Vurv will also incorporate PBN’s unique workforce analytics solution to provide real-time monitoring of key performance measures, in dashboard format, which enables senior executives and HR leaders to track financial, compliance and workforce metrics and provide an integrated and holistic view of the entire employee lifecycle from recruiting to separation.”

The days of reporting databases, data marts, and data warehouses are numbered. Organizations need real-time information presented in an usable approach that line managers can understand and take action on in carrying out the activities of their day-to-day jobs. Analytics must be integrated and comprehensive across all business functions, from planning and budgeting to requisitioning and recruiting to onboarding, complete life-cycle management and offboarding. They must incorporate planning, financial, compliance, benchmark, and best-practice information to be useful. And, they must be presented in a visual, dashboard-like manner with configurable graphics and drill-down capabilities so that users can tailor the information making it truly usable based on their own individual needs.
Congrats to Vurv for demonstrating their leadership in embedded workforce analytics!
