Utilising rich data and analytics is imperative in creating a modern workforce strategy.
Workforce Analytics has been around for some time, yet real progress has been slow. We’ve found that the analytics are often too simple to even start to understand the link between employees and business success.
Mercer with Human Capital Media globally surveyed HR professionals and found that high workforce analytics aspirations were paired with few attempts to achieve them. As few as 31% of respondents believe that they have been highly or even moderately successful using workforce analytics, and a mere 9% indicated that they use predictive analytics often.
What’s holding HR back? The top three roadblocks were technology to integrate data (54%), analytics skills in HR (52%), and management experience to effectively use analytics data (48%).
We know that the most successful companies in the world draw clear and measurable links between their workforce investments and results. What are the critical questions we need answered with data, and what decisions will be made based on these answers? How can analytics be used to unlock the potential of your people?
Mercer works with organisations to optimise their workforce analytics practices to deliver real strategic insights and ignite action that leads to change.
These are some of the ways we can partner with you to develop your workforce analytics effectiveness:
1. “Help me embed and sustain effective workforce analytics within my organisation”
Ongoing effective use of workforce analytics will help drive key decision making capability with your executive team. We work with organisations to identify and embed effective, self-sustaining workforce analytics practices, including the following areas:
2. “Help me plan my future workforce and make impactful people initiatives”
In addition to services that enable you to embed effective workforce analytics practices into your organisation, we can also use disciplined analytics, planning and predictive modelling to help you address specifically critical workforce management issues and develop data-driven talent strategies to support business needs.
We can help you gain actionable insights through:
