If a company is not compliant with the law it will sooner or later run into trouble and be heavily fined or worse case it will cease to exist. (Please se appendix 1). 1.2 Identify the range of HR data that organisations collect and how this supports HR practice For the company’s own benefit data are recorded to gain a better inside view of the day-to-day operation and performance. In order to remain competitive in the market and demonstrate success it is vital to record data, as they will show the company’s level of performance and what action needs to be taken to drive the business forward. Companies rely heavily on the HR operation to support the daily business on planning and decision-makings as well as the compliance with the law.
