Case Study: Improving Talent Analytics and Operational Efficiency at BMC Software
Abstract
At BMC Software, we tackled inefficiencies head-on by automating HR and recruiting reporting, slashing manual effort by 80%. We also built a predictive model to assess employee flight risk with 70% accuracy, empowering leadership to take proactive action. On top of that, we dug into real estate utilization, uncovering key insights that led to significant leasing cost savings and helped steer critical board-level decisions.
Background
BMC Software’s HR and recruiting teams were drowning in tedious, manual reporting, leaving little room for strategic analysis. But the real challenge? The lack of reliable, forward-looking insights into employee flight risk—something that’s crucial for making informed, long-term decisions at the executive level.
Objective
The goal was clear: automate and streamline HR and recruiting reporting to cut down on the grunt work, develop a predictive model to anticipate employee flight risk, and optimize real estate usage to lower costs—all while driving smarter, data-backed decisions.
Deliverables
Reporting Overhaul: Revamped the HR and recruiting reporting systems, automating everything and cutting reporting time by 80%, freeing up valuable resources for strategy.
Predictive Flight Risk Model: Built and deployed a predictive model with 70% accuracy to forecast employee flight risk, giving leadership actionable insights to act on before issues escalated.
Real Estate Utilization Analysis: Conducted a deep dive into real estate usage and capacity, uncovering opportunities for cost savings that translated into reduced leasing expenses.
Outcomes
Efficiency Boost: With 80% less time spent on manual reporting, HR and recruiting teams could finally focus on the big picture—making decisions based on real data rather than spending hours crunching numbers.
Proactive Leadership: Thanks to the predictive model, leadership was equipped to act on employee flight risk data early, leading to better retention strategies.
Cost Savings: The real estate analysis led to tangible reductions in leasing costs, directly impacting the bottom line and giving the board the insights they needed for strategic decisions.
