The report then goes on to look at the economic impact of their Sage People investment. Unsurprisingly it is all pretty impressive and shows that the benefits of using Sage People outweigh the costs significantly over a three-year period. ROI is a swopping 62% and the point of payback of investment in just over a year, with the most significant saving made in HR and people analytics.

The research was based on in-depth interviews with a number of Sage People customers, which were applied to a composite organization (global, midsize enterprise headquartered in US with employees in 4 other countries) to illustrate the benefits and investments. In our experience this is representative of organisations adopting Sage People in the UK, Europe and Australia as well.
