HR data lives in spreadsheets
Despite HRIS systems, most people analytics still happens in Excel and Google Sheets. But HR professionals aren't spreadsheet experts.
Compensation analysis requires precision
Pay equity audits, comp band placement, and raise modeling need formulas that handle percentiles, ranges, and conditional logic correctly.
Compliance reporting has tight deadlines
EEO reports, headcount snapshots, and benefits utilization — recurring reports that take hours to build and verify each cycle.
