SuccessFactors Employee Central (EC) has been a trusted and comprehensive human capital management solution, assisting organisations in managing their workforce effectively. With the constant evolution of technology, SuccessFactors has introduced the new Report Stories module, revolutionising the way organisations generate and analyse HR reports.

 In this blog post, we will explore the compelling reasons why users of SuccessFactors Employee Central should upgrade to the Report Stories module. From enhanced data visualisation to improved decision-making capabilities, this upgrade is set to transform HR reporting and unlock the full potential of Employee Central.

  • Enriched Data Visualisation

    Traditional HR reporting often entails vast amounts of data presented in intricate spreadsheets or lengthy textual reports, making it challenging to extract actionable insights. The Report Stories module in SuccessFactors Employee Central offers advanced data visualisation capabilities, empowering users to create visually captivating reports with intuitive charts, graphs, and interactive visual representations.

    This enables HR professionals and stakeholders to swiftly grasp critical information, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions with ease. By presenting data in a visually engaging manner, the module enhances comprehension, eliminates the need for exhaustive data analysis, and facilitates swifter decision-making processes.

  • Self-Service Reporting

    A significant advantage of upgrading to the Report Stories module is the self-service reporting functionality it provides. Previously, generating custom reports often required heavy reliance on technical personnel or HR administrators. This led to delays, increased workload, and limited flexibility in report generation. 

    With the new module, users gain the ability to independently create, modify, and share reports, which can reduce dependence on IT or HR teams. Empowering users with self-service reporting not only saves time and resources but also enables HR professionals to access real-time data and generate tailored reports aligned with their specific needs. This self-sufficiency fosters a culture of data-driven decision-making, streamlines HR processes, and empowers employees at all levels of the organisation.

  • Advanced Analytics and Insights

The Report Stories module introduces advanced analytics and insights, providing organisations with a deeper understanding of their HR data. These insights help HR professionals identify areas for improvement, optimise workforce management strategies, and align HR initiatives with overall business objectives. For instance, organisations can use the module to monitor employee engagement levels, analyse turnover rates, or identify skill gaps, enabling them to proactively address HR challenges. By harnessing advanced analytics, SuccessFactors EC users can make informed decisions, improve HR outcomes, and drive strategic workforce planning to stay ahead in today's competitive landscape.

  • Collaboration and Transparency

    Effective collaboration and transparency are crucial in today's HR organisations. The Report Stories module facilitates seamless collaboration by allowing users to share interactive reports with relevant stakeholders. HR professionals can effortlessly share reports with managers, executives, or cross-functional teams, fostering a culture of transparency and alignment. This collaborative approach enhances communication, encourages data-driven discussions, and enables stakeholders to provide valuable insights and feedback.

     By sharing reports, HR professionals can ensure that all decision-makers have access to real-time information, empowering them to make well-informed choices that drive organisational success. Moreover, the module streamlines the reporting process, enabling users to create comprehensive and visually captivating reports with minimal effort. This improves reporting efficiency, reduces administrative burden, and allows HR professionals to focus on strategic initiatives rather than spending excessive time on manual report creation.
