HR Acuity, the only technology platform specifically built for employee relations and investigations management, announced the release of the Fourth Annual HR Acuity Employee Relations Benchmark Study, based on in-depth research from more than 200 leading enterprises representing over 5.5 million global employees.
The results show that Employee Relations (ER) has become a strategic force across the enterprise. By using ER processes, data and technology to reduce workplace risk, organizations have increased transparency and created safer workplace environments – an imperative during this time of global crisis.
However, the study also found that 45% of ER professionals still feel they lack the appropriate tools to do their jobs effectively, especially predictive analytics to uncover potential employee issues, such as discrimination, bias and harassment, before they occur.
