People Analytics allows HR teams to transform large amounts of people data into actionable insights to improve workforce management and solve business problems.
What is People Analytics?
The CIPD defines people analytics as “the use of people-data in analytical processes to solve business problems”. People analytics provides HR professionals and their stakeholders with workforce insights and can help to improve evidence-based decision making.
In the NHS, large workforces create a lot of data for HR teams to make sense of. People analytics allows this data to be transformed into workable dashboards, allowing teams more time to identify the narratives coming from the data, and the actions they should take next to provide workforce solutions.
People analytics also allows HR teams and workforce leaders to measure key workforce metrics and KPIs across the organisation, including a focus on absence levels in the wake of COVID-19 – allowing clusters, exposure points and/or outbreaks to be monitored and reported on for the ongoing benefit of both the workforce and patients
For example, it could quickly and effectively measure sickness and absence levels across NHS teams both during and in the aftermath of COVID-19 – allowing clusters, exposure points and/or outbreaks to be monitored and reported on for the ongoing benefit of both the workforce and patients.
Liaison Workforce can help benchmark the starting point of analytics transformation through its advisory Pulse services, which help NHS organisations track and measure progress, and has created a video and blog series to help explain how People Analytics create streamlined reporting which can drive down an organisation’s pay bill and manage your workforces more effectively
