Having access to real-time, comprehensive, and actionable data is crucial for effective decision-making in today’s business environment. Workday Prism Analytics, combined with Discovery Boards, Worksheets, and Slides, offers a powerful suite of tools designed to enhance HR analytics capabilities. Here is how these components work together to provide a seamless analytics experience for your stakeholders.
Workday Prism – The Data Integration Hub
Whether it’s external tools like learning management systems or multiple data streams within Workday itself, the process starts with blending data from these sources into a unified dataset.
- Workday Prism acts as the central hub for integrating data from various sources,
- It follows your existing security model, or it can be customised to suite your specific need.
- Allows you to blend with external data and existing Workday data and apply calculations and derivations
- Extensive capabilities with a full syntax library and multiple different capabilities to join or filter data pipelines.
Discovery Boards – Advanced Data Visualization
Discovery Boards serve as Workday’s business intelligence reporting and analytics tool, enabling users to create interactive and insightful visualizations. These boards are designed with an intuitive, drag-and-drop user interface.
- Discovery Boards have an extensive visualisation library to choose from, for example Bar, Bubble and Waterfall charts allowing for interactive and impressive visualisations.
- Creating visuals can take a short amount of time in comparison to Custom Reports, allowing for quick ad hoc analysis.
- Designed to work seamlessly with Prism for speedy reporting.
- Follows Workday’s security model, sharing permission for users or security groups in edit or view permission.
Worksheets – Data Management and Automation
Worksheets allow for automating refresh schedules and creating detailed charts & pivot tables. It is particularly useful for creating complex data models and performing in-depth analyses.
- Worksheets allows for data to be brought in via Workday’s Custom Reports.
- Then create powerful visualisations or perform analysis on the data to produce pivot tables or other Excel style analysis.
- External data can be brought in, albeit not in an automated fashion.
- It’s the starting point to get data into Workday Slides to produce automated slide packs that can update on a monthly basis.
Slides – Automated Reporting and Presentation
The final piece of the puzzle is Slides, which utilize the data and visualizations created in Worksheets to generate automated, up-to-date presentations, enabling you to walk your audience through the story, step by step. Slides allow users to compile their analysis into a PowerPoint format, which can be easily shared with teams and leadership. The result – less time in data prep, and more in analysis and decision making.
- Slides uses data from Worksheets to link to your charts and visuals.
- Updated as often as your worksheet is, on an automated basis.
- Worksheets is the building block for your data and charting, to then pull into slides.
- Create monthly slide packs that automatically refresh without you needed to manual produce charts and update ppt packs.
Leveraging the combined power of Workday Prism Analytics, Discovery Boards, Worksheets, and Slides allows organisations to unlock the full potential of their HR data.
