Different departments track employees in different ways. Where some may track and report headcount by cost center, others may do so by position title or role in a certain managerial hierarchy. Consultants and part-time employees add extra variables to the mix. These variables can lead to discrepancies in reported job openings and actual headcount totals. Lawson solutions are designed to help HR reliably establish who is a worker, and track and report on these workers no matter how they are defined by various departments, to help ensure a more accurate picture of the workforce headcount as well as of actual open positions across the enterprise.
