This again challenges the internal benchmarking and raises questions regarding Business Acumen being practiced by HR in any organization.

The problems start arising when decision makers require accessing relevant data in a reliable and timely manner, the HR Department is not able to process the insights given by the HR Information Systems, thus making it difficult for senior executives to make business decisions. This not only creates a missing link in organizational information, but also enlarges the gap between profitability and people.

This facilitates them to calculate the impact of HR interventions, focus on right HR measures, have the best upshots out of Business Acumen and create data-driven business cases.
