Market Compensation Comparison Use external benchmarks or salary surveys to determine how well you compensate your employees compared to the market average. Analyze your organization s compensation by job profile to determine whether you are providing competitive compensation to attract the best talent. Use one of several external compensationbenchmark providers or combine multiple providers to establish a median for comparison. Take advantage of the Market Compensation Comparison template to influence budget and workforce planning or create new incentive programs designed to retain your top talent. Global Payroll Cost Analysis Arm your executive decision-makers with meaningful analysis of your global payroll by comparing the pay scale of differing geographical workforces on a true likefor-like basis. The Global Payroll Cost Analysis template evaluates geographical payroll-related costs such as base pay, benefits, employer taxes, and overtime. This is then combined with financial data such as facilities and overhead cost. The resulting analysis offers insight into opportunities, barriers, or other significant factors related to geographic investment and expansion. Retention Risk and Impact Analysis Reduce employee turnover by informing yourself about retention risk. The Retention Risk and Impact Analysis template combines Workday data, performance data, and data from external social sites to assess whether an employee is a flight risk. The template also helps you estimate the impact of an employee s departure. The risk-retention score flags certain factors that influence employees, which enables managers to focus on areas that help retain those employees. High Performer Analysis What makes an ideal candidate? How can low performers be turned into high performers? The High Performer Analysis template analyzes the characteristics of an employee s history, such as training completed, previous work history, education background, and hiring source to create a profile of a high performer. Managers and executives gain better insight into what type of background to screen for during the hiring process, where they can make additional investments in workers rated as low performers, and what recruiting resources result in the best hires. Headcount Analysis The Headcount Analysis template allows managers and executives to gain greater insight into their organization s workforce plan. Combine staffing data in Workday with data from an external recruiting solution to get a clear picture of current staffing, planned staffing, and the status of open positions. Decision-makers can use the data to understand where to revise recruitment budgets or where there is a potential risk in product or service delivery.

Revenue Pulse Which regions are performing above market? Which regions have increased risk on meeting market demand?

Regional factors such as population, per capita income, and unemployment rate are combined with financial details in Workday to get an indication of business performance in regions where your company operates. This capability provides executives with insight on where to direct investments. Customer Profitability 360 Are your customers bringing higher profitability or increasing costs?
