HCM (Human Capital Management) extracts are a feature of HCM software systems used by organizations to extract data related to various aspects of human resources management. These extracts typically include information such as employee data, payroll information, time and attendance records, benefits data, and other relevant HR metrics.
HCM extracts are commonly used for reporting purposes, data analysis, and integration with other systems (such as accounting or ERP systems), compliance requirements, and decision-making processes within an organization. They allow HR departments and management to access and manipulate HR data in a structured format, facilitating better insights and decision-making.
