HR needed to communicate to the management team how each team and individual had performed against company values and their unique department-specific goals. The challenge was to collate this diverse information into one single actionable document and the process of doing this was proving laborious and hard to do on a timely basis.
Challenge 3The client needed to be able to efficiently convert hundreds of individual pdf forms, with complicated tabulated performance data, to spreadsheets for reporting purposes to support management decision-making – this process was proving to be super laborious.
