Episode Description

Today’s buzz: HR Analytics. Reality check. Your workforce could account for as much as 60 percent of your company’s total operating expenses. That means your HR department should be applying as much intelligence – and the right kind of analytics – to your people-related decisions as other managers apply to finance, sales, production, supply chain and other business factors. For example, if HR is collecting activity metrics that lack a business performance context, they could be spinning their wheels and yours. The experts speak. Greta Roberts, Talent Analytics: “HR is the new Marketing.” Holger Mueller, ConstellationRG: “The holy grail of analytics is to give analytics metrics to the hands of business users.” Peter Howes, SuccessFactors, an SAP company: “Workforce planning is about risk mitigation and not about “best practice”. We invest in workforce planning only because the risk of not doing it is too great.” Join us for more insights on the HR Analytics: Science or Art?
