Figures distinguishes itself from other benchmark solutions by providing you with real-time benchmark data. This is mostly ensured through automated data imports and updates via your HRIS integrations.
Yet, some automatic updates can’t be carried over into the live dataset without manual effort or approval. And some of our clients don’t have an HRIS to begin with, thus using our spreadsheet import instead.
This is where we need your support in terms of data maintenance 🙌 to ensure that it is always the most current data considered in our benchmarks and your dashboards.
Common updates that can occur and may need your attention are:
New hires need to be added and/or mapped
Leavers may need to be removed from the dataset
Changes in level, location, job title, salary or bonus need to be entered or confirmed
However, the amount of Data Maintenance necessary depends on two aspects:
Whether you’ve imported your data via HRIS or spreadsheet.
How much of the mapping of locations, levels and jobs you have done on the mapping tab (more information on the Mapping of your employee in Figures).
