Manager Cockpit Aggregating HR Data for Unified Monitoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Managers in large organizations face inefficiencies due to the need to switch between multiple software tools for human resource management, which is time-consuming and confusing, hindering their ability to effectively monitor and manage direct reports.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system, known as the manager cockpit, that presents a graphical user interface with actionable tiles for managing direct reports, aggregating data from multiple software tools and providing contextual metrics, alerts, and recommended actions, allowing managers to perform actions directly from the interface without manually switching between tools.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If managers use multiple separate software tools for different HR management aspects, then each tool can specialize in a specific function (performance management, goal management, compensation management), but managers experience time-consuming tool switching and confusion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate HR management software tools into a single integrated manager cockpit interface. This unified interface aggregates data from performance management, goal management, compensation management, and other HR systems, allowing managers to access all functions through one system rather than switching between multiple tools, thereby resolving the contradiction between functional specialization and ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The manager cockpit is designed as a universal platform that performs multiple HR management functions simultaneously. It provides a single interface that can manage performance, goals, compensation, and other aspects of employee management, making the system multi-functional and eliminating the need for separate specialized tools
2Reliability
If managers constantly monitor the status of each software tool, then they can stay updated on employee management aspects, but the process becomes very cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple monitoring functions into a single unified dashboard that displays the status of all HR management aspects simultaneously. Instead of requiring managers to check each separate tool's status individually, the integrated interface consolidates all monitoring needs in one place, maintaining reliability while dramatically reducing complexity
3Adaptability or versatility
If managers switch between multiple software products, then they can access different HR management functions, but they may prevent the manager from fully grasping issues or concerns of the direct reports
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines data from multiple HR management systems into a unified contextual view within the manager cockpit. By aggregating performance data, goal status, compensation information, and other relevant data in a single interface, the system prevents information loss and enables managers to fully grasp employee issues without switching between products
Data Source
AI summary
Techniques are described for aggregating information from multiple software tools into a manager cockpit. The manager cockpit includes multiple views for presenting the aggregated information in various actionable tiles. When an actionable tile is selected, the manager cockpit presents actions that can be performed on the selected tile. In some embodiments, the manager cockpit can apply a rules engine to generate alerts and a coaching engine to generate recommended actions to remedy the alerts. The recommended actions can be presented as an action that can be performed on the selected tile.
