Trabalho no RH há alguns anos e sempre dependia de planilhas montadas por outra pessoa, então decidi aprender a fazer as minhas próprias. O curso ensina desde o controle básico da folha de pagamento até fórmulas mais elaboradas para acompanhar métricas de desempenho da equipe. Gostei muito da forma como cada aula usa exemplos parecidos com a realidade de um departamento pessoal, com faltas, horas extras e benefícios. A parte sobre organizar os dados dos funcionários em tabelas dinâmicas mudou completamente a forma como eu apresento relatórios para a diretoria. No final consegui montar uma planilha de folha de pagamento inteira sozinha, algo que antes eu nem imaginava fazer. Recomendo para quem trabalha com pessoas e ainda depende de outros para essas planilhas.

Khóa học hướng dẫn khá rõ ràng cách quản lý bảng lương trong Excel, chỉ tiếc phần tính chỉ số hiệu suất hơi ngắn.
