Data Quality Optimization for Visier Implementation

2 minute read

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A global information and insights agency was preparing to implement Visier but discovered that inaccurate HR data was blocking progress. Catena Solutions partnered with the organization to validate, clean, and standardize its workforce data to ensure a successful rollout. The engagement delivered accurate and reliable data at scale, enabling the company to fully leverage Visier for workforce reporting and analytics.

The Challenge: Inaccurate HR Data

During the transfer of HR data from Workday into Visier, the company realized that large portions of its workforce data were inaccurate or incomplete. These issues delayed the implementation timeline and prevented leaders from gaining confidence in the platform’s insights.

The Solution: Comprehensive Data Validation

Catena Solutions provided a People Analytics Consultant to lead a complete data validation effort to prepare the organization for a smooth and effective Visier launch.

Key activities included:

• Comparing complex reports across large data sets to identify inconsistencies
• Detecting data patterns and anomalies that signaled deeper systemic issues
• Correcting incorrectly entered records to improve overall accuracy
• Establishing a new process for entering and managing HR data
• Coordinating with operations to train HR users on the new data management process

The consultant’s strong HR operations background allowed for rapid pattern recognition, root cause identification, and recommendations for which data elements the company should prioritize going forward.

The Benefit: Accurate, Reliable Workforce Data

The company successfully validated and organized data for 13,000 employees, 1,000 open roles, and 40,000 candidate records. With clean data in place, the Visier implementation was able to move forward. Users can now self-serve their reporting needs and build dashboards to support business initiatives.

The company also gained an improved system for ongoing data accuracy, resulting in a more complete and trusted view of workforce operations and processes. Facing any similar challenges? Contact us to discuss how Catena Solutions can help.
