Why Workday teams bring in HRBench
Workday holds the data. Getting an executive answer out of it is a specialist job, and that is where HRBench fits.
- Reporting is a full-time technical role, not a self-serve tool. Companies staff dedicated Workday Report Writers, and larger ones hire a VP of Workday Reporting, roles that ask for five to eight years of Workday experience plus Report Writer, calculated fields, Prism, and security skills. A leader who wants a number files a request and waits. [1][2]
- Real analysis lives behind paid, technical add-ons. Standard reports come with Workday, but cross-domain analysis means Report Writer plus tools like Prism Analytics and Worksheets, each of which takes a trained specialist. HRBench calculates 45+ metrics the day you connect, with no build. [3]
- Workday shows your numbers, not how they compare. Workday has no external workforce benchmark database, so you cannot tell whether your turnover or span of control is normal for your industry and size. HRBench includes those benchmarks.
- One connected view without the reporting queue. HRBench reads your Workday HR, payroll, time, and recruiting data together and keeps it current, so the metrics sit in one place your leaders can open themselves.
What a Workday shop builds with HRBench
A few of the questions HRBench answers on day one for a Workday customer.
- Turnover and retention by team, location, and manager. Cut it any way, without a new report each time.
- Labor cost from your Workday time data. Workday feeds worked hours and payroll into HRBench, so hours and overtime read next to headcount and cost.
- Quality of hire that follows the person. HRBench holds your Workday recruiting data and your Workday HR data together, so you can see which sources and requisitions produce hires who stay.
- Diversity across the funnel and the workforce. Workday feeds EEO and applicant data into HRBench, so representation in hiring and in headcount read side by side.
- Absence and PTO patterns. From your Workday time-off data, tied back to teams and locations.
- Span of control and reporting layers. Find managers stretched too thin and gaps in your structure.
