New analytics module to help HR teams uncover workforce trends and drive strategic impact
London, UK – 2 June 2026 – Cezanne, one of the UK’s fastest growing providers of HR software and payroll solutions, today announces the launch of Cezanne Insights: a new AI-powered analytics software module built specifically for its HRIS platform.
The module is designed to help HR teams uncover workforce trends, answer business-critical questions faster, and turn people data into more confident strategic decisions.
Despite the growing pressure on HR to demonstrate strategic value, the gap between data availability and data use remains stark. According to the CIPD, two fifths (39%) of HR professionals have no access to people data for decision-making purposes, and just half say their organisation uses people data to tackle business problems.
Of those who do have access, fewer than one in four use it daily. The result is a profession sitting on some of its most valuable assets, yet unable to act on them quickly enough to influence the decisions that matter.
“For many HR professionals, reporting has become reactive, manual, and time-consuming. People teams are often buried in spreadsheets, static reports, and disconnected systems; spending more time compiling information than acting on it. Cezanne Insights changes that relationship with data entirely,” said Julie Lally, Chief Product Officer at Cezanne.
Better decision making, not just better reporting
Rather than acting as another reporting tool, Cezanne positions Insights as a “listening layer” for workforce data; helping organisations surface important signals before issues escalate.
Using natural-language AI capabilities, HR users can simply ask questions about their workforce data and receive immediate, actionable insights in seconds. Whether exploring absence trends, identifying retention risks, monitoring engagement signals, or understanding organisational patterns, the goal is to make workforce analytics more accessible, more proactive, and more useful to decision-makers across the business.
“HR teams already sit on huge amounts of valuable workforce data, but too often they don’t have the time, tools, or confidence to explore it properly,” continued Lally.
Available as an integrated module with the Cezanne HRIS, Insights removes the need for separate analytics tools or specialist reporting expertise. By combining AI-powered analysis with integrated workforce data, the module enables HR professionals to move beyond producing reports and towards influencing strategic conversations.
Cezanne Insights forms part of the wider modular Cezanne HR platform, which supports organisations across HR, payroll, recruitment, absence management, performance, learning, workforce planning, and employee lifecycle management.
