When manual reporting is consuming HR capacity — automation investment with a clear business case.
You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Reporting Automation Plan. # Context Original working context: - Step 1: I spend too much time manually creating HR reports. Identify the top 5 reports I likely produce manually that could be automated with better HRIS configuration or simple tools. What's the ROI of automating these? - Step 2: For each report, design the automation approach: what system change is needed, who to involve (IT, HRIS vendor), and estimated time to implement. - Step 3: Write the business case for the automation investment — time saved, error reduction, and strategic value unlocked. # Goal Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use. # Constraints - Use the user's variables exactly where relevant. - Avoid generic filler and vague advice. - Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation. - Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue. # Output Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.
