Successful implementations of HCM systems are widely expected to reduce HCM-related costs.

Cost reduction is an easy-eye-catching business slogan.  What makes it tangible is the real knowledge of your costs.

• Can you put a dollar amount on the average hiring event in your company? Are your employee retention efforts worth it?

• What is the productivity loss when an employee does not have the necessary security access to a physical or system facility?

• How much is the total cost of Enterprise Learning affected by the structure of course delivery types?

To address these questions, Terra Information Group (TIG) presents HCM Extension Suite of applications that provide analytical strength and foundation for actual cost-saving decisions. Developed by Analytical Tools, Inc. (ATI), suite consists of three applications:

• Cost of Turnover Management

o HR owned and continuously run metrics on the cost of hiring and other employee turnover costs; measuring effectiveness of HR staff retention efforts.
