Unlocking HR Data Integrity for Organizational Change

Whether it be mergers, spin-offs, delayering, downsizing, or gearing up for rapid growth, data integrity problems can significantly delay or even prevent organizations from achieving their desired goals.

The Persistent Problem with HR Data

According to the Data Warehousing Institute, poor data quality costs American businesses an astounding $600 billion annually. This detriment significantly contributes to the failure of HR projects. The issue of poor data quality comes into play in approximately 80 percent of all organizational change projects, posing a serious problem that prevents the capture of an organization’s current workforce state and thwarts both modeling and end-state predictions.

Data quality problems are often reflected in broken hierarchies, duplicate personnel records, misclassified positions, open positions, and incorrect or missing dotted-line reporting relationships. By effectively resolving these data integrity issues, organizational change projects can be significantly expedited.

Overcoming Data Challenges in Organizational Change Projects

One of our clients, a large internet search company, encountered a significant roadblock when poor data quality stalled its merger with a telecom equipment manufacturer. With the aid of OrgChart, the team assembled a complete view of its organizations, visualized its merging workforces, and ultimately carried the merger to completion in a short time frame.

Similar success was achieved with a major television network client struggling with data-related problems during succession planning. With a comprehensive roadmap provided by OrgChart to correct all data gaps, it successfully completed its succession planning endeavors.
