Saratoga Spotlight on HR

Subscription benchmarking solution on the HR function

Saratoga Spotlight on HR is a subscription offering providing a deep dive into your HR function. It gives business leaders benchmark data insights on their HR function size, shape and spend; and effectiveness of the function on key workforce outcomes.
