    The Challenge

    Rethinking HR analytics for a rapidly changing business

    Paramount, a next-generation media and entertainment company with 20,000+ employees, needed its HR technology to keep pace with the speed and complexity of its business. The company was navigating major mergers, hybrid work shifts, and intense market pressures, making flexible, real-time insights more critical than ever.

    Its existing HRIS platform couldn’t deliver the speed or configurability needed to meet these challenges. The People Analytics team, led by Tanmay Manohar, recognized that analytics had to become agile and transparent rather than locked in a black box.

    The Solution

    Building a foundation for speed and trust

    When Paramount began exploring analytics providers, One Model quickly stood out for its clarity, capability, and integrity. Tanmay Manohar and his team saw more than a vendor. They found a partner committed to delivering on every promise and building long-term trust.

    Together, they set out to create a new foundation for workforce decision-making by unifying data and strengthening the underlying architecture. The approach combined a powerful analytics platform with a disciplined commitment to getting the data “house in order.”

    Paramount integrated its disparate data sources into a single, high-speed analytics engine and invested early in critical foundational details: validating and cleaning data, engaging Privacy and Legal teams early, and establishing confidence through accuracy.

    By taking the time to plan carefully upfront, the team was able to accelerate later, achieving fast, reliable insights once One Model was in place.

    The Results

    Driving competitiveness through speed and insight

    Implementing One Model has fundamentally changed how Paramount operates, delivering speed, clarity, and strategic value across the organization. Decisions that once took hours now happen in minutes, giving leaders the confidence to act quickly and strategically.

    By partnering with One Model, Paramount gained a unified People Analytics platform that provides the speed, configurability, and multi-dimensional insight needed to drive the business forward. Their success didn’t come from adopting technology alone, but from preparation, transparency, and a true partnership built on trust.

    Listen to our interview with Tanmay Manohar at People Analytics World 2025.

    Manohar describes the deep data and stakeholder preparation his team put in place before implementing One Model - what he calls a "go slow to go fast" approach.
