Personnel profiles from one source - HR Software

Varied content plays an important role at Gruner + Jahr. The international publishing house defines itself as “house of content” and carries out more than 500 media activities in about 20 countries. Of course, qualitative and varied content about HR key figures, should also be available in the HR department of the media company.

In 2011, Gruner + Jahr decided to realise this goal with central HR software, called Ingentis org.manager. The tool visualises all HR key figures clearly in the organisational structure of the company. KPI profiles show personnel key figures for each organisational unit – cumulated in the organisational chart. “The creation of a profile is not much more complex than a PowerPoint presentation”, notes Felix Blum, Area Manager G+J HR Germany. “The product is proving excellent and is used extensively.”

Diversity in the org chart

The SAP HCM system serves as the data/basic for the HR key figures. Ingentis org.manager is connected to SAP HCM and evaluates the data and prepares them in an automated way. As a result, HR managers and executives find, in KPI profiles for example, the span of control, full-time equivalent and average age. Jobs at top levels are also shown in the organisational chart. Thus, HR managers can see the amount of female executives over the whole company, as well as in each organisational unit. In the profile “demography” users find the age structure sorted by groups of age and by gender. The profile “partial retirement statistics” shows for whom partial retirement could be relevant and when current active and passive phases of partial retirement begin and end.
