Diagnostic HRIS Project / Workday
A global HRIS project has been initiated and deployed in 2 countries, covering a very little numbers of employees. The functional and geographical scopes are limited to very basic core HR (hire to Termination) and to 2 countries, far away from what was expected and submitted in the Business case.
Objectives
The objective of the HRIS diagnostic was to have a clear and complete understanding of the HRIS project situation (geographical and functional scope, positives and negatives) and to propose a pragmatic action plan (quick and medium wins) and options to put the overall HRIS project back on track.
Mission
Provide a project management and HRIS expertise to drive the HRIS review, supported by the internal HR management team.
The HRIS expert supported and drove through the data collection (documentation review and interviews), the analysis of the collected material and the recommendations about the HRIS transformation project, aligning with the business existing and future requirements, respecting your culture, your organization and your budget.
The review is divided in Work Packages (WP):
WP1 – Interviews and data collection
WP2 – Analysis and synthesis of the outputs
WP3 – Recommendations and action plan
Results

Go for a “Big bang” deployment focusing on the Core and Absence, followed right after by talent, Perf and advance Compensation
