People Analytics

People analytics is a data-driven approach to improving people-related decisions for the purpose of advancing both individual and organizational success. While people have always been critical to the success of organizations, many business leaders still make key decisions about their workforce based on intuition, experience, advice, and guesswork. However, today leaders can improve their people decision-making based on the collection and systematic analysis of data. In this Monograph we will explore a number of strategies used to attract and retain top talent, and illustrate how these strategies are being designed and used at cutting-edge companies. In doing so, we will examine and discuss examples of organizations and company projects addressing key people-related issues, such as recruiting and hiring, performance evaluation, promotion and training opportunities, compensation, and organizational change. This book will understand you how and when 'big data' can be used to make key employee decisions so that you can position yourself as a strategic partner in your company's talent management.
