Darwin Analytics Centre enables HR professionals to make faster and smarter decisions on their global benefits spending – a significant investment of about 22 percent of salary budgets. It offers trend analysis and correlations to measure the value and uptake of specific benefits by different employee demographics. Through the platform, Reward Directors can instantly see global, regional and local benefit data displayed directly on their online dashboards using embedded BI and visualization.
Brenden Mielke, Director of Product Management at Thomsons Online Benefits, said, “HR professionals hold huge amounts of employee data but, until now, have struggled to unlock useful insights and trends to help them gain greater ROI from their reward programs. Birst helps us provide data on the take-up of benefits to clients in a format that is easy to understand, yet comprehensive enough to cover global, regional and local trends. We are helping our clients gain greater cost control of their benefits programs, ultimately helping to improve employee engagement, as staff adopt and appreciate the benefits that matter to them.”
Richard Neale, Director of EMEA Marketing at Birst, said, “Spending on people is one of the biggest areas of investment for companies of all sizes, and making this spending as efficient and data-driven as possible is essential for HR teams. Providing insight into how benefits programs deliver value is one area that HR Directors can immediately take advantage of, both for their own decision making and for informing their companies’ wider talent and staffing strategies.”
By using Birst as its analytics engine, Darwin Analytics Centre provides visually compelling information and greater insights to HR teams, so they can automate the administration of their benefits programs, control their costs, increase employee engagement, and manage potential risks.
