Of all the departments in an organization, the Human Resource (HR) department may have the least popular reputation. There are two reasons. First, the HR department is like a doctor: you’d never need one. Picture your role from the other side – when you ask an employee to come by your office, something bad is likely to happen. You may need to reprimand, put on notice, or even fire your colleague. Good news, like getting a promotion, tends to come from an employee’s direct manager. Not HR. Secondly, many regard HR as soft, old-fashioned and cost center. A lot of the work in HR is based on ‘gut feeling. We’re doing things a certain way because we’ve always done it that way. HR doesn’t have a reputation for bringing in big bucks or playing a numbers game like sales. HR also struggles to quantify and measure its success, as marketing and finance do. HR data analytics changes all of this. A lot of the challenges we just described can be resolved by becoming more data-driven and savvy about HR and analytics. Example questions include: How high is your annual employee turnover? How much of your employee turnover consists of regretted loss? Do you know which employees will be the most likely to leave your company within a year? These questions can only be answered using HR data. Most HR professionals can easily answer the first question. But the next two questions require more understanding of analytics. As an HR professional, you collect vast amounts of data. Unfortunately, this data often remains unused. Once you start to analyze human resource challenges by using this data, you are engaged in HR data analytics.
