The lack of data-driven HR practices can result in:

  • Rushed or biased business decisions.
  • Out of context or misinterpreted metrics results.
  • Unrealized return on equity and investment compared with organizations that have mature data practices.
  • Inability to prove the value of HR initiatives and impact.

Data-driven HR departments:

  • Are more involved with strategic decisions.
  • Generate an analytics-driven culture.
  • Make recommendations based on actual results rather than gut instinct or past experience.
  • Clearly communicate the value and credibility of HR with the rest of the business.
