Enhancing HR reporting efficiency: Overcoming manual data extraction

In the world of HR reporting at Sellafield, the adoption of Query Manager™ and Power BI has proved to be a game-changing success.

In 2020, Sellafield's HR systems' team recognised the need for more efficient HR reporting solutions. They had previously relied on SAP Ad Hoc query and Business Warehouse for HR data extraction, requiring expert business analysts to transform data and present reports. They seamlessly integrated Query Manager and Power BI into their SAP environment to revolutionise their approach. 

From adopting Query Manager, to game-changing dashboards

The Sellafield team noticed common reporting patterns and increased demand for interactive dashboard-style reporting.  They delved further into Query Manager's advanced features, automating reporting processes and scheduling queries. They introduced the Query Manager Analytics Connector Add-on, and explored Document Builder, giving them access to vital SAP data and improved reporting.

With heightened confidence, the team crafted a 'Line Manager Dashboard' aiming to:

  • provide all line managers with employee data
  • highlight areas requiring immediate attention (like missing timesheets)
  • support day-to-day line management
  • standardise elements of people data reporting, and
  • reduce effort required to access information.

Line Manager Dashboards with personalised data views

The intention of the dashboards was to offer personalised data views, a novel feat in their organisation, and technically difficult. Despite the complexity, they mastered data modelling and Power BI development, creating a well-connected schema driven by Query Manager's scheduled outputs.

The positive reaction to this dashboard is a testament to  their accomplishment. It offers tailored data views to relevant colleagues, and has propelled the organization's commitment to efficient, self-serve reporting solutions. In a short period, the integration of Query Manager and Power BI reshaped HR reporting for Sellafield, highlighting the benefits of this innovative technology.
