It's 2024, and you begin your day by reviewing intelligent predictions about your workforce trends straight from your smart device, rather than digging through piles of reports.
Thanks to HR predictive analytics paired with AI, you’re not just seeing data; you’re seeing recommended suggestions & actions plans that you need to make. This isn't a sci-fi scenario; it’s the real future of HR.
Today, we're diving deep into the realm of HR predictive analytics, where data meets foresight, and the possibilities are endless.
So, What precisely is predictive analytics in HR?
It goes beyond simply adding up figures and creating elegant reports. Using data to predict future trends, identify risks, and make well-informed decisions before they're needed is the key. Consider it your crystal ball—one that will accurately and clearly guide you through the complicated world of people management.
Human resources leaders constantly encounter pressure to deliver results, boost expansion, and outperform their rivals in the current fast-paced business workplace. And this is where predictive analytics comes in. By providing actionable insights, recommendations and foresight into workforce dynamics, it empowers HR to become a strategic partner in driving organizational success.
Let's face it, seeing a high-performing employee leave is as painful as watching your favorite series end on a cliffhanger. But what if you could predict an employee’s likelihood of leaving before they even start brushing up their LinkedIn profile?
inFeedo's Attrition Prediction Platform does just that. By analyzing patterns and trends in employee behavior and employee feedback, it helps you see which factors drive turnover in your team.
Remember the last time you were caught off-guard by a performance review? Not the greatest feeling, right?
HR predictive analytics changes the game by shifting from a reactive model to a proactive stance on performance issues. By continuously analyzing performance data, you can identify trends and intervene before small issues pot-boil into major problems.
Ever had a situation where an unhappy employee's feedback came out of the blue during an exit interview?
Well, predictive analytics helps you avoid just that. By scrutinizing patterns in employee survey data, attendance, and even daily interaction metrics, predictive analytics can hint at satisfaction dips before they become problematic.
Friday pizza parties are great, but genuine engagement runs deeper, doesn’t it? Engagement is about feeling connected to the workplace culture, values, and goals.
Predictive analytics can highlight what activities truly resonate with your team. This tailored approach ensures that you’re not just ticking boxes but fostering a connected, committed workforce.
But enough with the stats. Let's dive into some real-life examples to see HR predictive analytics in action.
Hilton Worldwide
The hospitality company Hilton Worldwide Services Ltd has leveraged AI-powered HR Predictive Analytics tool to streamline its hiring process.
By leveraging predictive models to analyze candidate data and cultural fit, they've revolutionized their talent acquisition process, reducing time-to-hire by 30% and boosting employee retention by 25%.
Xerox Corp. (Source: Wall Street Journal)
Xerox Corp. used predictive analytics to enhance the hiring process for 48,700+ jobs in its call centre. It was struggling with high attrition. Many call centre workers quit soon after being trained.
Xerox could not recoup its training costs of $5000 per employee often. Personality test data revealed that work experience did not have much of an impact on churn. However, personality traits such as curiosity and inquisitiveness significantly increased the chances of employees quitting early.
Xerox Corp. modified its hiring process to ignore work experience and focus on personality tests for choosing among candidates. They implemented this process permanently after a half-year trial that reduced attrition by 20%.
