INTRODUCTION

Human resource management is focused on the most effective use of

people to achieve organizational as well as personal goals. It basically
focuses on hiring, managing, exit related functions in the organization.
To keep employees fuelled and to keep the productivity rising HR’s
evaluate employee performance and develop new training programs for
them. HR came into light as a specific field in the early 20th century,
inspired by Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856–1915). John R.
Commons, an
American institutional economist, first used the term "human resource'
in his book &"The Distribution of Wealth" that was published in 1893.
However, it was not until the 20th century that HR departments were
formerly developed to manage the relationships between employers
and employees.
Performance Management is an important aspect in Human Resources
as it is a continuous communication process between managers and
employees to achieve organizational goals as well as develop personnel
skills of employees. This entire communication process involves
defining clear specific expectations, establishing goals, providing
continuous feedback and examining results. Performance Management
builds a communication system between a manager and employee that
is built throughout the year in hope of accomplishing organizational as
well as individual goals. To understand employee managers, go through
all the collected data and addresses the performance gaps through the
given data. Various tools are used to gather such data like HR Analytics.
HR Analytic is the collection and application of talent data to improve
critical talent. It is basically used for decision making using the
available data, to predict employee turnover and identify better
performers or predict skills that need to be Improved. HR Analytics is
also known as people analytics. It enables your organization to measure

8|Page
the impact of HR metrics on overall business performances and make
decision based on the data.

There are four types of HR Analytics:

➢ Descriptive Analytics
➢ Diagnostic Analytics
➢ Predictive Analytics
➢ Prescriptive Analytics

Descriptive Analytics
Gathering raw data doesn’t make sense and isn’t always useful, but
once it is sorted and put in a systematical order it can be useful.
Descriptive analysis (also known as observing and reporting) is the
most basic type of analysis and is most likely used. It basically collects
all the historical data available summarizes it into something
understandable. A headcount of employees in the organization or some
9|Page
specific department would come under Descriptive Analytics. More
complicated metrics like turnover rates also come under descriptive
analytics as well. They study the past data and aim to explain what
happened.
Diagnostic Analytics
If descriptive analytics tells what happened then diagnostic analytics
tells you why it happened. We go beyond what is happening to
searching for why is it happening. Here you make an observation
identify the descriptive analysis and move forward with the diagnostic
analysis. Diagnostic analytics uses various techniques including data
drilling and data mining. To investigate the root causes of problems and
find their solutions companies need to understand why the problems
are occurring.

Predictive Analytics
As Descriptive analytics relies on the past data or looks backwards
Predictive analytics looks forward. Different statistical models and
forecasts are used in these analytics to predict what could happen. The
goal of this analysis to find the needs of the organization. Models are
built on the patterns that were found on descriptive analytics. It could
help predict how long the employee is going to last in the organization,
or it can help the talent acquisition team determine if the employee is a
good cultural fit for the organizations .

Prescriptive Analytics
After the future is predicted, the next question is what can be done
about the situation. Prescriptive Analytics provides recommendations
on what to do based on the prediction and the old data given. This
analysis is most useful for organizational with seasonal demand. For
e.g.: A retailer would want to know how many people to staff during
the holidays. Prescriptive analytics could also help determine how to

10 | P a g e
properly hire a new employee based on the required skills, and
knowledge and across the employee life cycle. Here you take all the
information available on the above levels and prescribe what should be
done. The data itself tells you what should happen further.
There are various professional HR Analytical tools used in today’s
organization like Visier, Tableau, QLIK, SPSS, Microsoft Excel.

Benefits of HR Analytics

HR ANALYTICS IN STRATEGY

The talent management landscape is being transformed by

incorporating HR analytics into strategic decisionmaking processes in
the contemporary business climate, where data-driven approaches have
become crucial. HR analytics, the process of gathering and evaluating
data on human resources to guide business choices, has developed from
a specialized role to a vital part of corporate strategy . To lay the
groundwork for a more in-depth analysis of HR analytics' uses and
advantages, this chapter first examines the fundamental ideas of the
field and its strategic significance.
HR analytics includes various methods, such as descriptive analytics to
comprehend historical trends, diagnostic analytics to identify the
reasons behind specific outcomes, predictive analytics to project future
scenarios, and prescriptive analytics to suggest a course of action. With
these strategies, HR managers can go beyond gut feeling and
experience to make data-driven decisions that affect
hiring,performance management, employee engagement, and retention.
HR analytics's capacity to match organizational objectives with human
resource practices makes it strategically significant. By utilizing data,
HR departments can offer insights that improve decision-making at all
organizational levels. Predictive analytics, for example, can assist in
projecting future personnel requirements based on company growth
estimates, ensuring that the organization is equipped with the necessary
competencies. Analogously, diagnostic analytics can pinpoint the
reasons for excessive staff turnover, allowing for focused actions that
raise retention and lower related expenses. Furthermore, HR analytics
makes a more proactive approach to personnel management possible.
Reactive approaches are frequently used in traditional HR practices,
dealing with problems as they come up. On the other hand, HR
analytics allows businesses to anticipate future possibilities and
14 | P a g e
challenges, allowing them to put plans into place that anticipate issues
and take advantage of trends. This change from reactive to proactive
management is essential in today's fast-paced business world, where
agility and foresight are vital competitive advantages. Applying HR
analytics also increases the HR function's strategic worth and
credibility. HR practitioners can prove their value in accomplishing
company goals by showing how HR efforts affect organizational
performance. In addition to facilitating improved decision-making, this
data-driven strategy presents HR as a strategic partner inside the
company, encouraging cooperation between HR and other business
divisions. Adopting HR analytics is challenging despite its possible
advantages. Organizations must overcome challenges such as
developing analytical abilities within the HR team, integrating various
data sources, and improving data quality. Keeping regulatory
compliance and data privacy secure is also very important, especially
considering how sensitive HR data is. A holistic approach is required
to address these issues, involving investing in cutting-edge analytical
tools, building strong data governance structures, and encouraging an
innovative and everlearning culture. Talent management and strategic
decision-making can be transformed by using HR analytics.
Organizations may improve their human resources, match HR
procedures to business goals, and obtain a competitive advantage in the
market by utilizing data (Mohammed et al., 2017). The upcoming
chapters will address the problems and emerging trends in this quickly
developing field of HR analytics, go deeper into the particular
approaches and technologies utilized in this subject, and examine
applications of HR analytics in various HR roles. This study intends to
offer essential insights that help the strategic integration of datadriven
practices in human resource management through a thorough analysis
of HR analytics.

PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS IN EMPLOYEE RETENTION

High turnover rates can result in increased expenses and decreased

productivity, so firms are particularly concerned about employee
retention. Predictive analytics provides a significant option for
identifying employees in danger of leaving and implementing retention
tactics tailored explicitly to such individuals. This chapter aims to
investigate the role that predictive analytics plays in employee retention
and the consequences of this role for strategic decision-making.

Identifying At-Risk Employees: Predictive analytics, which uses

previous employee data such as performance reviews, engagement
surveys, and demographic information, can uncover patterns
and trends linked with employee turnover. These data points can be
analyzed by predictive models, which then identify employees at a
greater risk of leaving the organization. Some factors commonly
suggestive of possible employee turnover include low levels of job
satisfaction, and bad workplace relationships between managers and
employees .

24 | P a g e
Forecasting Turnover Trends: Through predictive analytics,
businesses can recognize employee turnover patterns and anticipate
future rates of employee turnover. Predictive models can provide
insights into future turnover rates by examining past data on employee
turnover as well as external factors such as trends in the industry and
the conditions of the economy. Because of this, firms
can proactively address possible retention concerns and properly
deploy resources to reduce the risks associated with employee turnover.

Developing Retention Strategies: When firms have identified

individuals at risk of leaving their positions, predictive analytics helps
them build retention strategies specifically tailored to satisfy the
requirements and concerns of those employees. Personalized
development plans, possibilities for career growth, flexible work
arrangements, and mentorship programs are examples of the tactics that
may be utilized (Sachani, 2018). Firms can boost the likelihood of
employees remaining with the company by adjusting retention
strategies to correspond with the specific requirements of individual
workers.

Evaluating Intervention Effectiveness: Predictive analytics is also a

significant factor in determining whether or not retention interventions
are victorious over time. Organizations can evaluate the effectiveness
of retention initiatives and make necessary adjustments
by monitoring staff retention rates and comparing them to projected
turnover rates. Utilizing this datadriven approach to retention
management guarantees that firms can continuously enhance their
tactics to increase staff retention rates and reduce the expenses
associated with turnover.
