In today's data-driven world, businesses have unprecedented access to employee information. Yet, many struggle to harness its true potential. 


At Barnett Waddingham, we're passionate about helping you unlock the power of your employee data to make informed decisions, foster a thriving workplace, and drive your business forward.

The data dilemma: are you collecting what truly matters?

While 75% of UK businesses hold employee data, only 5% use advanced analytics to inform decision-making. This gap represents a missed opportunity for growth and innovation. As business leaders, it's crucial to ask: Are we collecting the right data, and more importantly, are we using it effectively?

"Employee data is the DNA of your business – unique and vital. It's time to move beyond numbers and paint a vivid picture of your workforce."


From data to intelligence: the key to unlocking business potential

Transforming raw data into actionable intelligence requires a strategic approach. There are three essential tests to qualify your data collection:

  1. Insight: Does it reveal something new?
  2. Relevance: Does it align with your business goals?
  3. Actionability: Can it drive measurable improvements?

By focusing on these criteria, you'll be well-equipped to make data-driven decisions that truly impact your bottom line.

Tailoring your data strategy: one size does not fit all

Every business is unique, and so should be your data strategy. Whether you're managing a remote workforce or navigating a global organisation, we can help you identify and collect the most relevant data for your specific needs.

"Understanding the data relevant to your business is the first step in building resilience, minimising risk, and boosting productivity."


Addressing critical challenges: health, productivity, and employee well-being
