3 Simple Steps to Improving your Reporting Accuracy

Let me guess, there has been a time or two where Reporting has made you feel a lot like this:

News flash: you are not alone!  If you've struggled with accuracy in reporting there is a light at the end of the tunnel -- and Robert Stephen Consulting, LLC will help you find it!  It's no surprise that many struggle with reporting accuracy.  There are many little pieces of the puzzle that all need to be correct in order to produce an accurate report.

So, we've identified the problem, but how do we fix it?

The solution is actually quite simple. In order to get at least 98% accuracy, it is essential you follow these three steps:

1. Have a regularly scheduled employee synchronization with the HR department.
• A regularly scheduled employee synchronization with the HR department protects your data.  It assures that all employees are up to date in the system and that employee location and assets are current and tracked accurately.
2. Have a single move process that is followed.
• Make no exceptions.  Period.  It doesn't matter how large or small the move is, if you ensure that one particular move process is followed every single time a move is made, your data is significantly more likely to come out accurate.
3. Walk the floors on a regular basis.
• That means committing to update your data by walking floors once a quarter or once a year.  Whichever you decide, please: keep it consistent!  The more consistent you are, the more accurate your data will be and thus the more accurate your reports will be.
