Eliminating manual processes
Panasonic needed a faster way to get more accurate insights that could help drive their HR strategy and show their impact on the business overall correlations, building pivot tables in Excel, and struggling to glean information from Tableau or Power BI.
Panasonic needed a faster way to get more accurate insights that could help drive their HR strategy and show their impact on the business overall.
THE SOLUTION
Marrying HR insights & strategy
By implementing Visier People®: Organization, Panasonic’s HR team combined their business and people data to streamline internal processes, gain impactful insights, and transition into a mission-critical role. “I needed my HR organization to be enabled by data, analytics, and insights in an intelligent system,” recalls Lydia. “So we can make decisions about the business, predict actions of our workforce, and ultimately ensure a better customer experience.”
Now, we can correlate the quantifiable data with the qualifiable data and connect opinions with insights for our entire workforce.

Visier positioned Panasonic’s HR team to become a valuable contributor to the business strategy by providing powerful insights like “the fact that productivity is actually better when you encourage employees to integrate their work and their life together at once,” remarks Lydia.
