Why is people analytics so important for HR?

People analytics has become increasingly mainstream with more and more firms realising the value of it and its role in helping monitor overall organisation health, explains the team at SplashHR.

  • Improved hiring processes, accuracy in data and management;
  • Better retention;
  • Employee satisfaction;
  • Efficient talent management and skills management;
  • Improved productivity and increased accuracy in workforce planning.
