Like many Australian organisations, Oz Minerals used spreadsheets to manage the review of salaries, performance rights and bonuses. The spreadsheets were separated into departments and forwarded to the departmental manager(s) for updating. They were forwarded back to the HR departments for collating and final results issued back to the managers. While ultimately effective, it became apparent that the use of spreadsheets caused additional work and created challenges and difficulties during the remuneration review process. The need to distribute information for review and modification across the business created the potential for data entry mistakes and meant that significant time was spent checking and revalidating spreadsheets. This detracted from the time available to provide advice and value-add support to business managers. Click here to find out more about Oz Minerals
