One of the key components in transforming HR function into a true business partner is the ability to analyze workforce data effectively and find answers to key business questions.
HR has access to unprecedented data or let me say ‘Big Data’ where we now can measure, analyze and forecast business analytics. Using metrics, measurements and predictive analysis will help you provide actionable information and insights to make key business decisions even faster.
Organizations are now able to uncover hidden patterns and unknown correlations. For example, Lisa Johnson, Director of Recruiting (North America), Gate Gourmet, mentioned using big data analysis helped them know the applicants are heavily clustered across various geographies. But also that they were easily able to track the location where most hires resulted from. Successful organizations are now using workforce analytics to predict future turnover, skills gap among current employees and what type and how much workforce they need in the future.
