Critical Decisions in Launching a Workforce Analytics Program
Demonstrated success in human capital measurement and analytics enables more precise understanding of how the workforce contributes to business success.
However, several challenges must be overcome if HR is to lay a proper foundation for a data-driven decision-making.

Secondly, new analysts need to get the “reps” required for developing an analytics competency. And thirdly, organizations must decide which human capital issues possess the greatest opportunity for analysis and impact.

Employee performance management can play a major role in determining the success or failure of any business endeavor, yet for many organizations, there’s room for improvement.
· 23% of organizations define and adjust employee goals dynamically throughout the year, but nearly half wait until performance review time to do so.
