Title: Cons of Excel Spreadsheets in Human Resource Management - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: The humble Excel Spreadsheets have been a trusted partner of HR professionals across the globe since its advent in ‘70s where it graduated in form and brand nomenclature starting with the initial VisiCalc, SuperCalc to improvised Multiplan, Lotus 1-2-3 and the very monopolistic Microsoft Excel. Whether it is attendance, payroll or leave management HR function gracefully progressed from paper records to excel sheets. Did it work? Well it did for some time, but not when it became increasingly evident that it has major lacunas, a reality which is surprisingly easy to ignore. So where is the epicenter of the issue with spreadsheets?
