Is the business witnessing high employee turnover? Is the new attendance tracking system serving the purpose? Which approach is working best for recruitment? HR analytics can answer all of these questions and more! Here we shall look at some of the key facts about HR Analytics.

To begin with, HR analytics is useful for enterprises today because it brings a sense of organisation and direction to the enormous volumes of HR data. The insights derived from HR Analytics helps enterprises take steps in the right direction when it comes to introducing new initiatives or working on the areas of improvement for HR management. Without HR Data analytics, it is impossible to find patterns and information that is hidden within such large volumes of data.

While HR analytics can be applied to every aspect of HR management, there are few areas where application of analytics can bring forth highly significant information, making these the primary areas where HR Data analytics is implemented. These include recruitment, leave and attendance and employee turnover, to name a few. It helps the enterprise seek answers on employee behaviour, employee engagement, productivity, causes of turnover, insights on candidates, qualities observed in the top performers, time required to fill an open position, and so on.

Now, talking about the key components of the process of HR Analytics, we have the following:

  • Collection and refinement of relevant data for analysis
  • Monitoring and measuring of the data against the "standard" which implies verified information.
  • Analytical stage involving identification of trends in the data as well as key patterns that develop relevant data driven insights. Once the platform generates the required facts and insights, they are applied to the areas where there is need for insights.
