The challenge

The company needed an automated appraisal system. Ratings from HR and managers had to be combined into a final rating per employee, then used with each employee’s experience bracket to set their CTC.

What it meant for the team

  • CFO

    People costs hard to plan ahead of appraisals.

  • Controller

    Manual CTC calculations prone to error.

  • FP&A

    No view of investment per employee per product.
