The One Model Team
Having the right vendor partnership can make a huge difference. And the wrong one can lead to huge headaches. One Model understands this, and we strive to be more than just another software provider. We seek to be a trusted partner for both HR and IT teams, deeply entrenched in the success of both departments. By partnering with One Model, tech teams get: Expert resources to field HR’s requests A common challenge many businesses face is the reliance of HR teams on their internal IT for business intelligence (BI) support. This not only strains IT resources but also may not always result in optimal solutions tailored for HR needs. With One Model, HR gets access to expert People Analytics resources. This isn't just about having an extra set of hands; it's about having a skilled set of hands, well-versed in BI, ready to converse, collaborate, and create. More time to focus on IT initiatives With One Model, tech teams can channel their energies and expertise towards initiatives directly tied to their KPIs. Our proposition is simple: let us empower HR with solutions that meet their BI needs while IT reallocates their time towards other tech initiatives. This isn't about pitting departments against each other; it's about recognising and optimising strengths of both groups. Increased transparency and accessibility If there's ever a need for IT to get involved, no problem. One Model's platform is built on transparency. Developers can literally inspect the SQL, ensuring a seamless integration of our platform into your ecosystem. This creates a harmonious interplay between HR and IT, with both departments benefitting. A cost-effective approach to People Analytics The cost of hiring and maintaining a single data engineer is substantial, and it’s not easy to find IT candidates with People Analytics experience. Data engineers often earn an annual salary of over $110,000 each year. And this doesn’t even include additional expenses your organisation will need for data architects, project managers, and other resources — especially as you scale. Partnering with One Model's team is much more cost-efficient, allowing you to allocate your resources more strategically. “From the tech leader’s perspective, there’s a significant cost to having HR rely on your internal IT team for BI support. So as you consider building your own solution from scratch or buying a People Analytics tool, One Model’s flexible platform is ideal because we’ll partner with your HR team and deliver the best of both worlds. We specialise in supporting HR’s needs, so tech teams can focus on their own KPIs. And, if developers ever have questions, One Model is open enough for them to jump in and literally look at the SQL. It’s a win-win for HR and IT.” — Taylor Clark, Chief Data Scientist, One Model Navigating the complexity of people data While many development teams are adept builders, navigating the labyrinth of people data is a different beast altogether. A common misconception is that IT teams can effortlessly manage data extractions, transformations, and integrations from HR systems. The reality? People data is complex, intricate, and often disorganised. “Many IT teams are already handling data extractions, transformation, and integrations across HR systems. With that experience, the justifiable assumption is that People Analytics will be a straightforward project. But the challenges of People Analytics are unique. For example, creating historically accurate, effective dated data models across multiple systems. One Model is the only vendor that confronts these challenges head on.” — John Carter, Senior Sales Engineer, One Model With One Model, you're not just getting a People Analytics platform, you're gaining a partner skilled in deciphering, managing, and optimising people data. Where many falter, we excel. The challenges that often stymie others, like managing Workday's unique constraints, are where our expertise comes to the forefront. We do the heavy lifting, ensuring that HR's data needs are met so tech teams can avoid the typical complexities. Our approach isn't just about providing a platform. It's about building a valuable, long-term partnership and commitment to ensure the success of HR, IT, and the overall company.

We’re celebrating! One Model is an ISO-certified company and has recently completed the latest certification: 27001:2022. What does it mean to be ISO-certified? ISO certification provides voluntary third-party validation that a company's internal systems align with internationally recognized standards for quality and consistency. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), a non-governmental entity responsible for developing and publishing these standards, ensures that businesses worldwide adhere to best practices. ISO compliance provides a structured approach to identifying, managing, and reducing information security risks. It helps organizations systematically assess threats and vulnerabilities and implement appropriate controls to mitigate them. The Importance and Rigorous Process of Becoming ISO-Certified Achieving ISO 27001:2022 certification is no small feat. This rigorous process involves comprehensive audits, meticulous documentation, and a thorough evaluation of an organization's information security management system (ISMS). It's not just about ticking boxes but ensuring every aspect of data security is up to international standards. This certification demonstrates a commitment to continuous improvement and accountability in managing sensitive information. For People Analytics vendors, being ISO-certified means they are dedicated to protecting your data with the highest level of security. It’s a clear signal that they are serious about maintaining robust data protection practices, giving you peace of mind that your information is in safe hands. Is Your People Analytics Vendor ISO-Certified or Simply ISO “Adjacent”? Don’t be fooled. Your People Analytics vendor may claim to follow ISO 27001 standards or they may even be certified – but with an earlier version (27001:2013). The absence of a current certification may lead you to think that it doesn’t matter, that... - It’s just a cherry on top of your data security, and not all that critical. - Not much has changed in cyber fraud in the 9 years since the previous certification. - If it was really important, they WOULD have it (and maybe even brag about it) The fact is, cyber fraud is ramping up exponentially. Now, simply being certified to the most current standard (27001:2022) may not even be enough. A certification may only cover a single system within their organization. To safeguard security effectively, it's imperative to demand certification that encompasses the entire organizational scope, leaving no room for ambiguity or vulnerability. Who’s Minding the Data? Take it a Step Further with a CISSP While it’s not required for ISO certification, if you’re really taking security seriously, it’s good to know whether or not your People Analytics vendor’s Information Security Officer is a Certified Information Software Security Professional (CISSP), which is the gold standard in cybersecurity certifications. One Model is Now ISO27001:2022-Certified We think passing the rigorous verification process is a big deal and we’re proud to say One Model has recently completed the challenging ISO 27001:2022 certification! And, with One Model, you’ll find that we take your HR data security seriously… As the Information Security Officer at One Model, I’m a certified CISSP. We don’t sell your data. Your data never leaves our company. We have data servers in key regions, like the US, Ireland, Canada, and Australia. Only approved, background-checked, full-time employees have access to your data. Your data never leaves your One Model instance. Explore our infographic: IT security risks in the People Analytics space and how One Model works to limit those security risks. Leading companies like John Deere, Blackrock, Coinbase, Kellogg, and Colgate-Palmolive trust One Model’s cutting-edge analytics to elevate their HR strategies and superior security protocols to keep their data safe.

People often ask us, "What makes One Model different?" Well...there's a lot we could show and tell. We've decided to respond with a series of blog posts covering each and every reason. Read on for more! You can't do this with Tableau. One Model features the most advanced role-based security system of any analytics application. It has to. People data is often the most complex and most sensitive data in an organization. Through 15 years of experience working with People Analytics teams and knowing how they wish to provide access, we built a security methodology that caters for all scenarios and fills the complex gaps that other vendors ignore. One Model allows administrators to define custom security groups and designate fine-grained application permissions to each: Can these users create dashboards or just view them? Can they even filter dashboards? Can they drill down to detail? Can they use the Explore tool? Can they build their own metrics? Can they access a metric in one population but not access it in another without changing roles? At the data layer, One Model group permissions control access at both the column level (which data elements a user can see) and the row level (which records of the data element a user can access): Can they see a given department’s data? Do they have access to compensation metrics? Can they cut those metrics by Grade or Position? If they drill in to that data, can they see person-level detail? Better still, One Model security roles understand each user’s relationship to the data. Who reports to whom, for example. That means you could grant all the leaders in your organization drill-down access to their own team members with a single contextual data rule that follows them through the organization as their data changes. Done. Zero maintenance required. Multiple roles merging together to provide the exact level of access for each user regardless of whether they're a HRBP, executive, or director with complex reporting lines. This is not something you can achieve with tableau, qlik, or any other vendor in our space. They come close but they don't understand the relationship between a user and the data itself, which results in constant role security maintenance -- if the desired access can be achieved at all. Why it matters Most teams have self-service is part or goal of their People Analytics Roadmap. If you want to deliver self-service with HR data, you’ll need to effectively and sustainably manage fine-grained sets of permissions like the ones described above. Here’s a look at what is possible with the right role based security capabilities. Let’s say that you’ve developed an integrated recruiting effectiveness dashboard. Your business leaders, recruiting managers, and HRBPs all have access to this dashboard. Based on aggregate data, your business leader can see that the new candidate assessment is, in fact, doing a great job predicting high performing new hires across the company. She drills into her own team’s details and scans through a few examples. This builds her confidence both in the assessment tool and in the dashboard. She’s likely to come back and use other dashboards in the future. The recruiting manager, looking at the same dashboard, is excited by the overall results, but wants to see if this assessment result is having a negative impact on protected groups of candidates in the hiring process. Given her role, you’ve given her access to aggregate slices of demographic data. She uses dashboard filters to cut the data by gender, age, and ethnicity without having to request a one-off ad-hoc report. She’s ready when the topic comes up in a meeting later that day. She thanks you the next time you see her. The division’s HRBP has similar ideas but her security clearance is more complex. Because her division is split across countries and, due to local laws in one country, she's not allowed to view performance ratings, or conduct age and gender analyses, which are seamlessly unavailable for this population. With this limitation in place, she wants to take things a step further in the One Model Explore tool and analyse a recent change to recruiting practices. She combines assessment results and termination data along with her most recent employee survey results. The results are so interesting that she reaches out to you. “Hey, my termination rates are down. We think we’re making better hires based on this new assessment tool, and employee satisfaction is up as well. These are all good signs, but can you figure out which results are driving the others?” After a cursory analysis, the next step is to prove there is a correlation and quantify its impact with the built-in OneAI machine learning suite. Awesome. Isn’t this scenario why your company funded the program in the first place? Without advanced role-based permissions? Well, you probably know that story already. It starts with a generic, one-size fits all dashboard. The plot thickens with the arrival of ad hoc reporting requests and vlookups. And the story ends with… well… more ad hoc reporting and vlookups. If this is something that excites you, let's talk. Click the button below to schedule some time with a One Model team member. We can answer any specific questions you may have, or just chat about role-based permissions (if that's what you're into).
