The implementation process was led by Michelle Thompson, who configured the dashboard according to the specific requirements of the company, choosing which data points to collect from both existing employees and as part of employee onboarding for people joining the organisation.

Collecting sensitive data is always difficult. Data security is crucial, the Zellis platform provides a simple and straightforward experience for users that enables HR to gather the necessary information, while limiting access to anonymised data to only those who need it.

Customisable dropdown options provide straightforward data capture for the best data outcome, and a simple user experience for those providing sensitive information.

"it is really adaptable in terms of what you could do within your business because each business is different. we've all had experiences where you want to change something, but you have to wait for the vendor to make the change. the majority of things you want to customise can be done with in-house capabilities,”

The strong relationship between the Zellis team and Michelle enables them to work closely together to maximise the results they get from all Zellis solutions. The team provides ongoing guidance and assistance to ensure the smooth implementation of any new component, as well as keeping Lookers informed about updates and upgrades.

The new DEI dashboard has led to valuable insights into workforce demographics, which can be included in unlimited predefined reports. These enable Lookers to make data informed decisions and create targeted initiatives to support their goal of improved diversity and inclusion.

“Being able to share some of those good bits with the business, as well, on a platform that they're used to is brilliant. I can provide access to a predefined report in Power BI and they can go in and out of that and do as much or as little as they wish to.”

The dashboard also allows for the consolidation of data from various areas of the business, allowing comprehensive reporting and analysis that was not possible before. Like many organisations, Lookers has data from several areas which, when combined with newly gathered information, is highly valuable.

"We have a lot of data about our people, but we also have a lot of data elsewhere and if we can bring that all together, I think that's where the magic starts to happen."
