Overall Satisfaction with Visier

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

With Visier, we are able to put people analytics directly into the hands of our HR partners and business leaders. From a compensation perspective, I can quickly and easily find real-time employee data and other valuable analytics in one place without the need to export and combine multiple reports from our HCM system. We can view market data, minimum wage information, turnover statistics, and more information that would typically involve gathering data from multiple sources.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Visier does an excellent job providing summary charts and graphs of people data, including turnover, job information, and diversity and inclusion statistics.
Visier is flexible in setting up data feeds between various systems to ensure all of our data is accessible in one system. For example, we have a data connector between our market pricing, HCM, and recruiting systems.
Visier has an intuitive and user-friendly interface that empowers line managers and HR partners to use the system. Managers and HR partners can easily share data with other users.

Cons

Visier is a people analytics tool, so all data points are tied to employees. It can be difficult to analyze data points that aren't tied to employees (e.g., certain job data) since the data is driven by people metrics.
Visier releases updates quarterly. While this cadence does provide room for updates and enhances to be implemented in the tool throughout the year, other software providers operate on a more continuous update schedule.

Return on Investment

Visier has allowed us to review turnover data for certain jobs to better understand when and why people are leaving the company. By having this data, we can implement new policies and procedures for at-risk groups to reduce our turnover costs by keeping good employees.
Visier has allowed us to have greater visibility into diversity and inclusion initiatives to ensure we are meeting our goals across locations and roles.

Other Software Used

CompAnalyst, Microsoft Office 2016, Cisco Webex Meetings

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have a large organization where it can be difficult to sort through large data sets, then Visier may be a good solution for your company. Visier is also a good solution for companies that spend a lot of time building graphs and analyzing data for turnover, career pathing, diversity and inclusion, and other employee-related initiatives. This tool will decrease the amount of time data analytics professionals spend searching and calculating meaningful data, and it will equip them with the information they need to have the right conversations with company leaders. Visier's streamlined data approach allows Data Analytics teams to stay one step ahead of relevant issues by creating a more proactive (instead of reactive) environment.
