We chose Included because we needed a platform that could pull people data from Workday and actually make it usable and actionable. Most tools we have looked at either required a ton of manual effort or didn’t give us the flexibility to slice and filter data the way we needed. Included makes it easy to track key HR metrics like headcount, terminations, and more with real-time updates straight from Workday. I’ve built dashboards that our leadership uses regularly, and I trust the data because it's automated and always up-to-date. No more spending hours pulling reports manually or second-guessing if something’s outdated. It’s also been a huge help in surfacing insights by office, department, and even tenure or generation, which gives us a much more complete picture of what’s going on across the company. Another huge win for me is that for a startup, the Included team is incredibly responsive. They genuinely listen to feedback, act fast, and build features that actually reflect what users need and they're happy to get on a call with you to get your questions answered. Friendliest team I've ever worked with!

1. Responsive team: Specifically calling out Yuan and Konstantin. They're great at listening to our feedback and making improvements. 2. Not a huge lift: out of the box you can get some value out of the platform. You don't have to learn like you would with other BI tools 3.Deep dive: Easy to dive deeper in a metric by building out stories , scorecards, or by clicking through 4. Historical snapshots: super helpful since our HRIS doesn't support that for some of our custom fields 5. Click and play: Easily put together metrics by selection vs building tables etc 6. Huge potential to become a powerful tool for the people function

There are a few upsides to using the Included platform: 1. Democtrizing data is probably the biggest benefit for us. We came from a place where we had a specialized individual generating reports for our leadership team, our people team, and other requests - this was simply not scalable. Included provides bespoke real-time insights to these stakeholders in an easy to use way. 2. Define the narrative. One of the main features we've been using internally is 'Story'. Stories allow us to... tell a story... with the data. We can customize the dashboards to take stakeholders through a data journey giving them the insights that are the most relevant to them, without bogging them down with too much detail. These include custom tiles with trendlines, scorecards or preset threshold markers. However, if they do want to deep dive.... (see below) 3. Clicking into the trends to see the specifics. Included has a very clean way of being able to double click into the data that allows the users to see specifically where that data is coming from. So if for example we see attrition trending in the wrong direction, we can click into that and specifically see what departments and what demographics are most impacted. 4. AI-Powered. The AI-insights function provides us with a real time breakdown of the analytics in a way that makes sense to non-technical non-analytical users. It can very quickly point out areas of concerns allowing stakeholders to take immediate action where necessary. 5. API / Central System. It has been hugely beneficial to our team to tie in multiple systems and drive all our insights through Included. We have our ATS, our HRIS as well as previous dashboards (from Tableau) - allowing us to draw correlations in the data between different systems. 6. Responsiveness from the team. The team that helped us implement the solution has been fantastic. They are quick to answer questions, join Zoom calls to dive into issues, help build stakeholder dashboards, and of course, help grow the stack by supporting integration of additional platforms / data.
