Case Study: Alere achieves consistent data and insightful merger conversations with Visier

Alere Consistent data makes for insightful conversations during merger

Alere, a global leader in rapid point-of-care diagnostics operating in over 40 countries, faced a major data challenge during its acquisition by Abbott: no single source could show overall turnover, new-hire turnover, loss of top contributors, or the costs of replacing talent, and HR lacked the analytics skills to answer those questions consistently.

Alere selected Visier for its ability to consolidate data and provide clear visuals, then trained more than 100 users—from analytics teams to HR business partners—who now use standardized dashboards and metric definitions (e.g., first-year voluntary and trailing 12‑month turnover). The result: improved data quality, consistent conversations about turnover and internal fill rates, and concrete insights such as the cost impact of a 1% attrition change (about $250K), enabling more strategic discussions with new leadership.
