On this blog will get into more details on - How to Capture HR Analytics Data
In the digital age, organizations are increasingly recognizing
the importance of HR analytics in driving informed decision-making and
optimizing workforce management. HR analytics involves the collection,
analysis, and interpretation of data related to employee performance,
engagement, and behavior to derive meaningful insights. This article explores
the essential steps and strategies to effectively capture HR analytics data for
actionable insights.
Internal data
Internal data refers to any data collected within the organization.
Internal data is typically captured using an HRIS system and specialized HR software.
Examples include:
Employee compensation
represents salary, bonuses, and other benefits that each employee receives.
Employee training records
contains evidence of employees attending training as well as their performance
during the courses.
Performance appraisal data
represents any feedback related to the performance of a given
employee.
Data on high-potential employees
entails any records tied to
the most promising employees within the organization.
Disciplinary action records
store all cases of responding to an employee’s misconduct.
External data
External data is collected from other departments outside the organization and through third parties.
This type of data is critical as it helps fill the gaps in internal HR data, making it easier to see dependencies and understand how macro factors impact internal processes.
Examples include:
Financial data
contains any information related to the financial health of an organization.
Organization-specific data
represents any information related to operations and internal processes.
Third-party data
entails any data obtained outside the organization, from social media platforms to B2B data vendors.
Historical data
entails macro trends and patterns that
affect the state of work.
