The Struggle with Traditional Report Creation: What’s Holding HR Back?

Traditional report creation has long been a headache for employers, especially within HR and benefits departments. Here’s why:

1. Guesswork Galore
   With typical report creation tools, users are in the dark until they hit “run” and generate the report. This guesswork means users have to go through an all-too-familiar process: build, run, review, and adjust. When adjustments are needed, it’s back to square one, wasting valuable time.
2. Time-Consuming, Manual Adjustments
   Formatting often requires advanced technical knowledge, and is far from intuitive and accessible for many users. This process adds to the time and frustration, making reporting feel more like a chore than a quick task.
3. Confusing Parameters and Limited Customization
   Some reporting tools offer “real-time” insights but with a catch: the reports are predefined and require service requests for even minor customization. This restricts flexibility and limits the value of the reports. Many HR teams just don’t have the bandwidth or budget to repeatedly request tailored reports from providers.
