The Ministry of Silly Tech
Welcome to another edition of People Analytics Bites, brought to you by Orgnostic.
Just like Monty Python's bureaucratic escapades in the Ministry of Silly Walks, some HR and People Analytics tech systems unwittingly turn simple tasks into convoluted odysseys, leaving those who run them bewildered.
Imagine a monthly HR report prep work becomes a dance routine or data cleaning feels like mastering a comical walk.
In this edition, we delve into the world of getting HR tech that works for you — not the other way around — shedding light on the pitfalls to avoid and what to ask to procure technology that enhances, rather than hinders, the HR and PA experience. Read on to:
