People Analytics: 5 Real Case Studies

Maaike Ankum

Harness the power of HR analytics to improve business performance by learning from these organizations.

Data is essential to an organization’s growth and profitability. HR analytics turns the focus inwards on one of the biggest determining factors of a company’s success: their employees. Collect and analyze data about the talent within your organization and get the insights you need to increase productivity, reduce waste, and capitalize on unique opportunities.

As a leading expert in employee feedback solutions, Effectory encourages a data-driven approach to identifying opportunities for improvement within organizations. This includes refining strategies to hire the right talent, designing individual employee development plans, and enhancing employee engagement. We’re always available to talk with you about how we can make people analytics work for your organization.

This article will, first, outline the steps to implementing an effective people analytics strategy and, second, explore case studies from five prominent organizations that highlight the different ways in which HR analytics can be used to improve your business outcomes.

The steps in an HR analytics strategy

Organizations need to have clearly defined processes to gather data, analyze it, identify patterns, and turn those insights into actionable initiatives. Though the terms are similar, HR reporting and HR analytics are not, in fact, interchangeable. They are actually the first and final steps, respectively, in the three-part process of people analytics.

1. Reporting

HR reporting is the foundation of people analytics, bringing together all the data your organization has tracked.

HR reports are objective and factual. They present data in a digestible way to highlight patterns, but do not derive conclusions.

2. Analysis

HR analysis is the investigative phase where your team draws connections among data points and develops hypotheses.

During analysis, you may need to identify gaps in available data and fill them in using new tools and initiatives like surveys, employee interviews, or game-like personality tests.

3. Analytics

This is where the people-data, HR reports, and analysis come together to give you a definitive picture of the problem or opportunity your organization is facing. Data and hypotheses are structured through analytics to provide actionable insights.

What is predictive people analytics?

The following step-by-step guide is another way to map out the people analytics process:

Identify opportunities or areas for improvement
Establish performance metrics
Collect data
Identify relevant patterns and develop hypotheses
Fill the data gaps
Analyze the results
Implement data-driven strategies

Here are five real-world case studies that demonstrate different ways in which businesses have used people analytics to improve their bottom line.

How HR can lead business success

HR and employee listening are crucial to business success. Here is how employee insights can help your organization.

Johnson & Johnson: Experience and retention

Area for improvement: American multinational Johnson & Johnson was looking to improve both employee performance and retention. At the time, their recruiters prioritized candidates with job experience in the industry, assuming they were more likely to stay with the company and would be quicker to make significant contributions. As a result, the company experienced a 10 percent decrease in new hires who had recently graduated from college. Data and analysis: Challenging these assumption, HR and the people analytics team at Johnson & Johnson compiled data on 47,000 employees to test the link between experience and turnover. The data revealed that employees hired right out of college actually remained with the organization “significantly longer” than more experienced candidates. Furthermore, there was no significant difference between the two groups’ contributions to the company. Their new hypothesis is that Johnson & Johnson’s two-year leadership development program may help reduce turnover among recent graduates. Analytics and outcome: Based on the people analytics, Johnson & Johnson increased hires of new graduates by 20 percent, effectively reducing turnover while maintaining performance.

Clarks: Employee engagement

Area for improvement: C. & J. Clark is a British shoe manufacturer and retailer with approximately 1400 locations and over 13,000 employees. According to Chief People Officer, Belinda Deery, Clarks already had high levels of employee engagement relative to their industry but were looking to maximize return on investment, especially at the store level. Data and analysis: The HR analytics team used 450 data points to get an accurate picture of the relationship between employee engagement and overall business performance. The report and subsequent analysis revealed that for every 1 percent increase in employee engagement, business performance increased by 0.4 percent, confirming the correlation and the value of employee engagement. The analytics team also collected additional data from the company’s 100 best-performing stores.

Analytics and outcome: The combined findings of this two-step people analytics initiative enabled Clarks to implement multiple effective changes and programs that improved engagement and increased business performance. First, they drafted a replicable schema to create high-performing stores, including the ideal team size for optimum efficiency. The company also designed a store management development program and put together an employee engagement toolkit for managers. The CPO reported positive ongoing results after implementing these initiatives.

Credit Suisse: Predicting turnover

Area for improvement:

Credit Suisse is a financial services company based in Switzerland that employs over 47,000 people. To reduce turnover, they tried to predict which employees were most likely to leave the company and when. It’s been estimated that the cost of replacing an employee can be anywhere between 30 and 400 percent of an employee’s salary, depending on seniority and experience. This is a substantial loss for a company the size of Credit Suisse.

Data and analysis: Because the Credit Suisse workforce is so large and since they have strong data tracking practices, the analytics team had substantial information on who left the company, why, and after how long. The team dug deeper to explore “the specific circumstances prior to the points of departure” by tracking over 40 variables, such as performance ratings, the time spent in a given role, and the size of an employee’s team.

Analytics and outcome: The resulting predictive people analytics model gave Credit Suisse the ability to accurately predict how likely an employee is to leave the organization in the next year based on as few as ten indicators. With these predictors, Credit Suisse is able to identify risk factors and address these issues with employees before they result in attrition.

Use the insights of departing employees to uncover hidden truths about your organization and minimize further unnecessary departures.

E.On: Absenteeism

Based in Essen, Germany, E.On is an electric company that employs approximately 78,000 people. When absenteeism rose above the acceptable benchmark set by their HR department, E.On used people analytics to determine the factors driving increased unscheduled time off. Depending on whether an employee is paid hourly or with an annual salary, absenteeism can cost a business anywhere between $2,660 and $3,600 per employee, annually. For an organization of E.On’s size, that potentially adds up to hundreds of millions of dollars.

Data and analysis: The people analytics team at E.On put together 55 hypotheses. Based on the available data, the team tested 21 hypotheses and finally validated 11 of them. What they found was that the duration and timing of vacation had the biggest impact on the frequency of unplanned time off for the rest of the year. Contrary to popular belief, employees selling back their vacation time to the company did not appear to have any statistically significant impact on absenteeism.

Analytics and outcome: Based on these insights, E.On implemented policy changes that encouraged managers to be more accommodating with how employees schedule time off. Employees are encouraged to schedule multiple breaks throughout the year with at least one larger vacation—a combination that reduces absenteeism. The findings from this people analytics initiative also provided the HR team with additional insights they can use to test other variables in the future.

Cisco: Choosing an office location

Area for improvement: This multinational technology conglomerate based out of San Jose, California employs over 75,000 people. When the time came to open a new regional office, the company used people analytics to determine the best building and location for it. The goal was to avoid wasted space, create a positive work environment for employees, and attract the right talent to the organization. Data and analysis: With 266 Cisco offices across 87 countries, their People Planning, Analytics and Tools department were able to source data about office usage rates and average costs within the organization. Senior Director Ian Bailie and his team also looked at the building’s neighborhood and the location’s community to evaluate their respective potential impact on business performance. Most importantly, the analytics team explored the availability of talent, specifically from neighboring universities, relative to the number of competitors in the area.

Analytics and outcome: Because of Bailie and his team’s findings, the company decided to go with a different location than they first had their eye on. Their research found that the original choice would have left the recruitment team struggling to fill the necessary roles. The findings also changed Cisco’s process for opening new offices by bringing people analytics into the discussion much earlier. Planning, staffing, and operating new offices became much more resource efficient.

These are just a few real-world examples of how HR analytics can be used to improve business outcomes. People analytics focuses on an organization’s most valuable resource, its employees, and empowers them to do their best work to benefit the company and its larger goals.

Using people analytics to drive business performance: A case study

People analytics— the application of advanced analytics and large data sets to talent management—is going mainstream. Five years ago, it was the provenance of a few leading companies, such as Google (whose former senior vice president of people operations wrote a book about it ). Now a growing number of businesses are applying analytics to processes such as recruiting and retention, uncovering surprising sources of talent and counterintuitive insights about what drives employee performance.

Much of the work to date has focused on specialized talent (a natural by-product of the types of companies that pioneered people analytics) and on individual HR processes . That makes the recent experience of a global quick-service restaurant chain instructive. The company focused the power of people analytics on its frontline staff—with an eye toward improving overall business performance—and achieved dramatic improvements in customer satisfaction, service performance, and overall business results, including a 5 percent increase in group sales in its pilot market. Here is its story.

The challenge: Collecting data to map the talent value chain

The company had already exhausted most traditional strategic options and was looking for new opportunities to improve the customer experience. Operating a mix of franchised outlets, as well as corporate-owned restaurants, the company was suffering from annual employee turnover significantly above that of its peers. Business leaders believed closing this turnover gap could be a key to improving the customer experience and increasing revenues, and that their best chance at boosting retention lay in understanding their people better. The starting point was to define the goals for the effort and then translate the full range of frontline employee behavior and experience into data that the company could model against actual outcomes.

Define what matters. Agreeing in advance on the outcomes that matter is a critical step in any people-analytics project—one that’s often overlooked and can involve a significant investment of time. In this case, it required rigorous data exploration and discussion among senior leaders to align on three target metrics: revenue growth per store, average customer satisfaction, and average speed of service (the last two measured by shift to ensure that the people driving those results were tracked). This exercise highlighted a few performance metrics that worked together and others that “pulled” in opposite directions in certain contexts.

Fill data gaps. Internal sources provided some relevant data, and it was possible to derive other variables, such as commute distance. The company needed to supplement its existing data, however, notably in three areas (Exhibit 1):

First was selection and onboarding (“ who gets hired and what their traits are”). There was little data on personality traits, which some leaders thought might be a significant factor in explaining differences in the performance of the various outlets and shifts. In association with a specialist in psychometric assessments, the company ran a series of online games allowing data scientists to build a picture of individual employees’ personalities and cognitive skills.
Second was day-to-day management (“ how we manage our people and their environment”). Measuring management quality is never easy, and the company did not have a culture or engagement survey. To provide insight into management practices, the company deployed McKinsey’s Organizational Health Index (OHI), an instrument through which we’ve pinpointed 37 management practices that contribute most to organizational health and long-term performance. With the OHI, the company sought improved understanding of such practices and the impact that leadership actions were having on the front line.
Third was behavior and interactions (“ what employees do in the restaurants”). Employee behavior and collaboration was monitored over time by sensors that tracked the intensity of physical interactions among colleagues. The sensors captured the extent to which employees physically moved around the restaurant, the tone of their conversations, and the amount of time spent talking versus listening to colleagues and customers.

The insights: Challenging conventional wisdom

Armed with these new and existing data sources—six in all, beyond the traditional HR profile, and comprising more than 10,000 data points spanning individuals, shifts, and restaurants across four US markets, and including the financial and operational performance of each outlet—the company set out to find which variables corresponded most closely to store success. It used the data to build a series of logistic-regression and unsupervised-learning models that could help determine the relationship between drivers and desired outcomes (customer satisfaction and speed of service by shift, and revenue growth by store).

Then it began testing more than 100 hypotheses, many of which had been strongly championed by senior managers based on their observations and instincts from years of experience. This part of the exercise proved to be especially powerful, confronting senior individuals with evidence that in some cases contradicted deeply held and often conflicting instincts about what drives success. Four insights emerged from the analysis that have begun informing how the company manages its people day to day.

Personality counts. In the retail business at least, certain personality traits have higher impact on desired outcomes. Through the analysis, the company identified four clusters or archetypes of frontline employees who were working each day: one group, “potential leaders,” exhibited many characteristics similar to store managers; another group, “socializers,” were friendly and had high emotional intelligence; and there were two different groups of “taskmasters,” who focused on job execution (Exhibit 2). Counterintuitively, though, the hypothesis that socializers—and hiring for friendliness—would maximize performance was not supported by the data. There was a closer correlation between performance and the ability of employees to focus on their work and minimize distractions, in essence getting things done.

Careers are key. The company found that variable compensation, a lever the organization used frequently to motivate store managers and employees, had been largely ineffective: the data suggested that higher and more frequent variable financial incentives (awards that were material to the company but not significant at the individual level) were not strongly correlated with stronger store or individual performance. Conversely, career development and cultural norms had a stronger impact on outcomes.

Management is a contact sport. One group of executives had been convinced that managerial tenure was a key variable, yet the data did not show that. There was no correlation to length of service or personality type. This insight encouraged the company to identify more precisely what its “good” store managers were doing, after which it was able to train their assistants and other local leaders to act and behave in the same way (through, for example, empowering and inspiring staff, recognizing achievement, and creating a stronger team environment).

Shifts differ. Performance was markedly weaker during shifts of eight to ten hours. Such shifts were inconsistent both with demand patterns and with the stamina of employees, whose energy fell significantly after six hours at work. Longer shifts, it seems, had become the norm in many restaurants to ease commutes and simplify scheduling (fewer days of work in the week, with more hours of work each day). Analysis of the data demonstrated to managers that while this policy simplified managerial responsibilities, it was actually hurting productivity.

The results (so far)

Four months into a pilot in the first market in which the findings are being implemented, the results are encouraging. Customer satisfaction scores have increased by more than 100 percent, speed of service (as measured by the time between order and transaction completion) has improved by 30 seconds, attrition of new joiners has decreased substantially, and sales are up by 5 percent.

The CEO’s guide to competing through HR

We’d caution, of course, against concluding that instinct has no role to play in the recruiting, development, management, and retention of employees—or in identifying the combination of people skills that drives great performance. Still, results like these, in an industry like retail—which in the United States alone employs more than 16 million people and, depending on the year and season, may hire three-quarters of a million seasonal employees—point to much broader potential for people analytics. It appears that executives who can complement experience-based wisdom with analytically driven insight stand a much better chance of linking their talent efforts to business value.

Importance of HR Analytics in Modern Organizations

HR Analytics plays a critical role in modern organizations as it provides valuable insights into the people side of the business. With HR Analytics, organizations can track key metrics such as turnover, diversity and inclusion, and employee satisfaction, allowing them to identify areas for improvement and make data-backed changes.

Furthermore, HR Analytics can help organizations stay ahead of the curve by providing real-time insights into their HR practices, drives and campaigns, allowing them to respond quickly to emerging trends and challenges. Organizations can also design and implement more effective HR initiatives by leveraging HR data, such as training and development programs and talent management strategies.

The 3 Steps in an HR Analytics Strategy

In today’s data-driven business world, organizations increasingly turn to HR Analytics to drive impactful changes and improve their people strategies.

An effective HR Analytics strategy begins with a clear plan outlining the steps to achieve our goals.

Here are the three basic steps in an HR analytics strategy:

Problem Statement

The first step is to define the problem or challenge you are trying to solve. This involves identifying areas in your organization where we need insights, such as employee turnover, diversity and inclusion, or employee engagement.

A clear problem statement helps to focus efforts and ensure that your HR Analytics strategy aligns with your overall business objectives and goals.

Approach and Solution

The next step is to determine the approach we will use to gather and analyze HR data. This involves selecting proper HR metrics to track and the tools and technologies to determine how we will collect and store our HR data. Our approach should align with our organizational culture and objectives.

The final step is to analyze and interpret the results of our HR Analytics efforts. This involves evaluating the impact of our HR initiatives, drives or campaigns and identifying areas for improvement. Communicating the results of our HR Analytics efforts to stakeholders within the organization is the key to gaining buy-in and support for future initiatives. By regularly tracking and reporting on HR metrics, organizations can continue to improve their HR practices.

In conclusion, these three steps – problem statement, approach and solution, and results – form the foundation of an effective HR Analytics strategy.

By following this process, organizations can ensure that their HR Analytics efforts align with their business objectives and drive meaningful impact for their people and businesses.

HR Analytics is a powerful tool to help organizations make informed decisions about their HR or people strategies. By analyzing data related to employee behavior, organizations can identify trends and make changes that improve outcomes from employees.

Here we will discuss ten HR Analytics case studies demonstrating the impact of data-driven HR strategies. Here’s a list of the top 10 HR analytics case studies:

Reducing road traffic accidents

The company used data to track key metrics such as employee satisfaction, productivity, engagement and attendance, allowing it to make informed decisions about staffing levels .

A/B Testing Employee Training

A technology company used HR Analytics to test the effectiveness of its employee training programs. By using A/B testing, the company was able to determine which training methods were most effective and made improvements to the same, ultimately improving employee performance and engagement and curbing absenteeism at the same time. If the employees feel that the company is interested in their career development, growth and overall well being, this sentiment shows on their attendance records and performance .

Sick days at E.ON

Compensation and benefits at Clarks

Clarks deserves another spot in our top ten HR analytics case studies list because of it’s compensation and benefits.

Clarks used HR Analytics to optimize its compensation and benefits programs as compared to similar outfits in the industry. By analyzing data related to employee compensation and benefits, the company was able to make informed decisions about its programs and improve employee satisfaction and retention by improving compensation and benefits as compared to others in the same industry.

Opening a new office by Cisco

This could involve analyzing data on employee satisfaction, engagement, retention and productivity or turnover and absenteeism using which more effective training programs and policies can be designed.

Integration with other business functions:

This could involve integrating HR analytics with financial, marketing, or supply chain analytics, for example, to gain a more comprehensive view of organizational performance as a whole.

In conclusion, the future of HR analytics is likely to be characterized by greater use of advanced technologies like AI, a focus on strategic data-driven decision-making, and a more holistic approach to understanding and enhancing the employee experience.

In conclusion, the use of HR Analytics has become increasingly important in modern organizations as they strive to make data-driven decisions about their people strategies.

5 HR Analytics Case Studies with Tangible Organizational Benefits

HR analytics are improving business processes for every sector but there are still many organizations that are cautious about the true effectiveness of this data. If you’re looking to use HR analytics to improve your bottom line , retention and turnover rates, employee engagement efforts or just to ensure the long-term success of your business, use these HR analytics case studies to gain a better understanding of just how HR analytics can ensure the success of your organization.

What HR analytics case studies can provide you with tangible organizational benefits?

Use these case studies on HR to gain a better understanding of why HR analytics are essential to the success of your company.

HR Analytics Case Studies

1. employee leave predictions at credit suisse.

In March of 2015, The Wall Street Journal published one of the first articles detailing how employers can effectively predict which potential hires might stay with their company longer, thus, saving the company a lot of money. This now extremely popular HR metric, known as employee churn analytics, not only helps employers determine who might quit the business but also explains why these employees may quit. Since the introduction of employee churn analytics at Credit Suisse, managers at organizations today are better trained to retain high performing employees and reduce turnover risk factors.

2. Employee Turnover at Experian

While there are many case studies on HR , this case study not only improved turnover rates but saved Experian millions of dollars. The credit reporting site, Experian, was having major issues with employee turnover with levels being 4% higher than what they aspired them to be. Experian sought out to build a predictive model that included 200 attributes to predict the flight risk of employees, including team size and structure, supervisor performance, and length of business commute. By discovering what attributes they could change to reduce employee turnover, Experian was able to save an estimated $8,000,000 – $10,000,000.

3. Talent Retention at Nielsen

Back in 2015, Nielsen, a leading global information & measurement company, created a predictive model that was designed to help them retain key talent at the company. This predictive model informed Nielsen that the first year employees work for their company is the most important. Nielsen discovered that when they approached employees at risk of leaving the company with a job change, they were able to keep 40% of flight risk employees.

4. Employee Absence at E.ON

E.ON, a European holding company, was noticing a large number of employee absences and decided to tackle the issue using people analytics. To tackle their employee absenteeism, E.ON had their analytics team formulate 55 hypotheses to solve the issue, tested 21 of them and ended up validating 11 of them. E.ON found that employees who didn’t take a long holiday once a year or take a personal day or two every now and then increased absenteeism and the best way to solve this issue was for managers to improve holiday approval policies.

5. Employee Engagement at Clarks

Clarks, the large shoe retailer, decided to look into the relationship between employee engagement and the financial success of the company and discovered some rather interesting information. First, they discovered that engaged employees leads to higher business performance . They also discovered that there was an optimum team size that should be met in their stores and that the length of tenure of a store manager was a major indicator of employee performance. Thanks to the insights Clarks gained from their investigation, they were able to create a blueprint for high-performing stores and create an engagement toolkit that managers can use to improve employee performance.

While there are many HR analytics case studies available to gain a better understanding of just why HR analytics are essential to the long-term success of your business , it’s important to learn from different case studies on HR to have the best understanding of how to properly run your business. As long as you link employee attitudes directly to business outcomes, prioritize business interventions that offer the greatest impact, ensure that managers are focusing on areas that will improve business outcomes the most, and improve key business drivers, you can ensure that your organization will be successful for years to come.

Case: Under Armour, an American organization dealing with the manufacture of sports and casual apparel and footwear, is a global company. With more than 130 global outlets and 8500 employees, their ATS system received more than 30,000 resumes in a month. Thus, hiring was a cumbersome process for them as well as candidates applying for a job.

Solution: They engaged in a digital recruitment system called Hirevue. With Hirevue, managers could create interviews with candidates with the help of pre-recorded questions. This screening process helped managers call in only employees who met their requirements for webcam or mobile recorded interviews.

Result: Managers could now hire new employees much more quickly. There was a 35% reduction in time in the overall interview to the hiring process. Talent quality also improved.

These above case studies show the emerging trend of incorporating analytics in the HR function of business management . This can also be seen to have positive results in the recruitment and retention processes.

Human resource management is quite a recent term. Employees are treated with a lot of respect and regard nowadays compared to earlier. There were times when workers were considered to be expendable and they had few rights. Working conditions were miserable and people had no say in how organizations are operated or in the way they were treated. The industrial revolution is what brought changes. Companies started realizing that keeping employees loyal was essential for running businesses smoothly.

Caring For Employees During The Industrial Revolution

Courses for human resources certification online teach that before the industrial revolution there were hardly any large industries and a need for managing workers was not felt. Working conditions were dangerous for them and pay was hardly commensurate with what work they did. In the late 1900s, companies like the UK-based Cadbury and Jacob from Ireland appointed welfare officers. These firms introduced a system of payment during sick leaves and cheap housing for employees.

It was F W Taylor during the early twentieth century who introduced a system for managing staff. He believed that people could be trained to become experts in certain jobs. The famous carmaker Ford adopted his methods. Tools in manpower management like job analysis, employee selection procedures, and training methods were introduced during this period. Certain fast food organizations also adopted Taylor’s theories. His mistake was that he did not think people can get bored with doing the same job.

Employee Management During The World Wars

Two events that changed many things for us are the first and second world wars. Employee unions had been formed during the first world war. As men went to fight wars, women came to be seen more in workplaces. In your HR training certification by IIM Raipur , you will learn how companies had to think about managing workers and form new rules. Recruitment, dismissal, bonus, and absence from work came under the scope of manpower management.

Researchers like Elton May opined that factors like motivation, job satisfaction, leadership skills, and group dynamics could influence performance. The improvement in the economy after the war saw many firms adopting a more flexible approach to staff members. Big companies used employee benefits to lure and retain people. Personnel and welfare work was in full swing during the second world war, but it was done in a bureaucratic style as government-run firms influenced law-making.

The Post-War Scenario

The 60s were not good times for industrial relations as it was found that none of the entities involved in negotiation had skills to discuss issues of employees. As the decade came to an end, employment opportunities improved, and along with this, people management techniques began to be used. When you study human resources certification online courses you will know that terms like motivation, organizational behavior, and management training were heard more commonly.

In the seventies, much was talked about rewarding employees. The next two decades saw economies sliding and companies becoming less profitable. But it was also then that many organizations realized the importance of retaining people. They began looking at workers as an asset that must be taken care of if the firm wants to have an edge over competitors. Humans started to be regarded as resources that need to be effectively managed. Human Resource Management was born.

The Nineties To Now

It is no more only personnel management and administrative tasks for workforce heads. The HR training certification by IIM Raipur will tell you that it is more about employee engagement and development that people managers are tasked with now. Human resource departments are strengthening the culture in an organization and finding people who can fit that environment. They are also tasked with ensuring that every employee gets an opportunity to use his or her talents for the benefit of their companies.

Also Read: Why is it Important to Study Human Resource Management?

HR managers are more focused on workers than on processes. This department is also gaining more importance as management’s realize a need to attract and retain the best talents available in the market. HR leaders find themselves among the C-suite as their role in getting the best out of employees is increasing. They must understand the needs of a more diverse, multicultural, and multigenerational workforce and ensure to fulfill them. Retention of good hands has assumed much importance nowadays.

The Future Of HR Management

The human resources certification online courses will teach that it is not just enough to employ and retain people, but they must also be trained and developed. The speed at which new technologies emerge, there is a need to keep employees abreast of modern developments. HR managers must continuously update themselves with modern technology and arrange training programs to empower workers with new skills. The journey of staff members in an enterprise will be that of continuous learning.

Acquiring best talents and retaining them will remain the focus of any progressive organization. People managers will have to find innovative means to attract those who are equipped with the latest skills required for a job. Engaging with prospective employees through social media platforms will be practiced by more HR heads. There will be increased use of automation for screening resumes and conducting initial interviews. This will speed up the process and reduce costs.

HR departments will be trying innovative methods to improve employee experience in the company. They will find out the requirements of the new breed of recruits. Learning opportunities will be improved. Promotions and salary hikes will no longer be based on experience or seniority. New procedures for evaluating employees will be used. Getting HR training certification by IIM Raipur will teach new methods that are used by global enterprises for appraisal and rewarding.

Looking at the evolution of human resource management can show you that there has been a shift from looking at employees as only a means to achieve company objectives, treating them as individuals, and satisfying their needs. There is a realization that it is equally important to ensure that their goals are achieved and these objectives are in line with that of the organization. HR departments will play a more important role as retaining good talent becomes crucial. Combining the human force with machines and using that synergy will be highly important in the future.

Case Study: How Assessment Helped Healthcare HR Adapt, Innovate and Thrive

As organizations compete to attract and retain the best talent, employee expectations of the workplace experience have risen from background noise to breaking news. Human resources leaders are re-examining their HR operation's contributions, their employee experiences, scalability and innovation.

Challenge: Organizational change and growth threaten to overtake lean HR team

The needs of the organization had begun to outpace the capabilities of the HR team. Uphill battles included:

Client summary

1,000-employee acute care hospital located in the Midwest
Long-standing history of providing care since 1892
Operates two facilities licensed for 217 beds
Serves as the community's healthcare hub, providing secondary-level healthcare to residents in eight counties
The organization places increasing emphasis on relationships with neighboring community hospitals, physicians and agencies that depend on providers for specialty care. Further, as a healthcare provider, the organization strives to improve population health through local and regional collaboration at the lowest responsible cost.
HR leadership turnover created lack of role clarity among the team.
Daily HR demands crowded out important strategic planning as the new HR leader faced the need to develop an action plan.
They lacked an organizational vision and strategy for an overarching people plan.

The HR function needed a comprehensive review of its talent management framework and life cycle processes. Leadership determined that the new HR leader and a particularly lean team would benefit from an expert partner to conduct an assessment of the department.

Areas of concern included:

Compliance : To what extent does the organization comply with current federal, state and local laws and regulations?

Best practices : How well does the organization maintain or improve its competitive advantage compared with organizations identified as using exceptional HR practices?

Strategy : Do the HR systems and processes align with the HR department's strategy and the business goals of the company?

Function : Does the efficiency and effectiveness of such HR functions as recruitment, inclusivity/belonging, employee retention, culture, talent development and compensation/rewards support the overall HR strategy?

Solution: In-depth assessment and gap analysis

The organization asked Gallagher's HR Consulting team to conduct an assessment of the HR function, review documentation and processes and make recommendations to improve department strength and structure.

The Gallagher team met with organizational leaders to understand growth projections and the role of human resources as the driver of goals addressing talent strategy, culture, employee development and other areas. Further, the Gallagher team interviewed cross-functional department leaders to understand the unique needs of their areas.

Gallagher consultants reviewed all HR-related documentation and interviewed staff responsible for HR functions ranging from compliance, talent acquisition and onboarding practices to leave management, workers' compensation, culture and employee relations, among other areas.

HR staff members completed a Gallagher questionnaire to outline their current roles and responsibilities, offer perceptions about their department and suggest process improvements.

Common themes emerged from the Gallagher team's interactions with management and HR staff members. All acknowledged the vast changes across the organization and the HR department, as well as concern that the HR team may struggle to deliver services in pace with organizational growth.

Results: Better clarity, efficiency and a path forward

Based on the assessment, the Gallagher team compiled a comprehensive report outlining recommendations to improve compliance, communication and workflow, as well as streamline job duties and HR procedures. Further, the team proposed a strategic plan with timelines. Benefits included:

Streamlined HR processes such leave administration, hiring process and candidate experience
Corrected compliance gaps including those around Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA)
Restructured HR department roles and responsibilities to enhance leadership strength and HR skill depth; recommended short-term and long-term team structure
Enhanced communication and proposed an action plan to support employee engagement and strengthen culture

Gallagher's Human Resources Consulting team can assess and strengthen your organization's HR function to enhance overall organizational wellbeing.

2.14 Case Study: The Power of HR Analytics for ACME Inc.

Case study: the power of hr analytics for acme inc..

ACME Inc. has a problem, a big problem. It is losing employees at a rate of 18% per year. Benchmarks in their industry are at 9%. For the past few years, new government regulations have been making the industry more competitive and profits are on a steady decline. The CEO has identified curbing the high turnover rate as a primary objective for the HR department.

The VP of Human Resources has hired a team of data analysts to look at the issue. The team performed advanced analysis on the anonymous corporate employee data integrated from several HR information systems. The dataset contains common and specific HR-oriented features for approximately 1,560 individual employees. Topics include demographics, satisfaction with the job and the company, absences, salary, and even travelling schedule. For each individual record, there is also information determining whether the corresponding employee left the company at the end of analyzed period. This information is used to identify key features connected to attrition. By identifying data patterns that can predict current employee behaviour in terms of attrition, the company can develop strategies to address the issue(s).

For the purpose of the case-study, the dataset was inspected and using the logistic regression method, two different questions were answered:

Which specific factors increase or decrease the probability of attrition?
Which individual employees across different jobs are at high risk of attrition?

Regarding the first question, advanced modelling techniques like neural networks were able to identify “drivers” that influence the target variable: risk of attrition. See the article: What Drives Employee Turnover? Part 2 for a list of the drivers of employee turnover. This kind of information provides seemingly straightforward insight. However, to deliver more thorough and usable conclusions, it is necessary to go a little deeper. One possible way to do that is to perform a separate analysis for different job types and roles. The next figure (2.13.1) shows the importance of various factors for three different job categories: technician, scientist and salesman.

Diagram showing differences in how factors affect attrition

In order to answer the second question -who are the employees most at risk of leaving, a prediction model was developed and applied. For validation purposes, one-third of the dataset was separated to test the model accuracy. The rest was used to train the model and perform previous analysis. The newly-developed model is able to predict 88.9% of employees with “left-the-company” flags.

Now equipped with this information, the VP of Human Resources is working at addressing the issues with a concrete and aggressive plan of action to curb turnover.

What are the factors that made this advanced analysis successful?
Research prediction model and discuss what makes is a successful model to predict risk of employees leaving. Why was this step important to ACME Inc.
Following the data analysis, what are the first action steps (name 5 steps) that the VP of Human Resources can take to address the issues in a concrete manner?
