People analytics is the practice of using data to make better decisions about the workforce to improve decision-making. It is collecting and applying organizational, people, and talent data to improve critical business outcomes. It is at the center of human resources (HR) and is key to practicing evidence-based HR. People analytics is a combination of human resource management (HRM), finance, and data analytics. This means that organizations need varied skillsets in order to implement people analytics. People analytics empowers HR teams and business leaders to answer critical questions such as why are employees leaving and what drives high performance. HR professionals can use people analytics to understand why certain things happen. This paper explores how people analytics is used in HR decision-making.
