HR data: Go beyond the tip of the iceberg

September 27, 2016 PeopleInsight Workforce Analytics HR Analytics, HR and Technology, HR Policies and Procedures, HRMS, Human Resources

Workforce data is everywhere. In all different formats using multiple languages, inconsistent terminology, and living in different systems. Given this complexity, it’s not surprising that most HR & talent teams access and utilize only a small portion of their data’s power. This is the data that’s visible, on the surface, and easily reported. But this is only the tip of the iceberg…and below the surface is where we really need to focus to deliver results for the business.

Did you ever here an HR person say, “we have lots of data but we’re challenged for time and resources to wade through it. We’re in need of a solution to resolve the fact that we have spreadsheet upon spreadsheet but little means of drawing insight from them or connecting the data in meaningful ways.”

Bring your HR data to life – The why behind the what

There’s a lot of focus today on Big Data and analytics and this extends into all areas of business, HR included. We get it and we’re huge proponents of its value—in fact we’ve built our business on workforce analytics and insight. We know that numbers can tell us what’s working and what’s not within an organization. They can identify how much it costs and how long it takes to recruit a new employee; where, when and who is leaving the organization; who the top performers are; where we experience the highest productivity, and so much more. So data can tell us a great deal about what, who and where things are happening in an organization.

December 20, 2013 PeopleInsight Workforce Analytics Employee Relations, HR Analytics, Human Resources, Recruiting and Hiring

At this time of year, we are reminded of many things – one of which is that traditions are everywhere… culturally, personally, in-business and life-at-large. Even though traditions are tremendously important to us and for our families, we sometimes need to break the old, and create new! Which is what I suggest with the way you might have been measuring, tracking and managing your recruitment and talent acquisition activities.

Understanding top talent

November 26, 2013 PeopleInsight Workforce Analytics HR Analytics, Human Resources, Recruiting and Hiring, Training and Development

When I hear people talk about top talent, I get reminded of the elusive (and sometimes voodoo) experiences that I had in the past in corporate environments when identifying top talent.
I have to say, it always conjures up memories both good and bad.
