INTRODUCTION TO HR ANALYTICS 

Modern organizations are ramping up on data science, recruiting talents by making huge  investments for their work engagement. These firms are accelerating their digital transformation to  deploy smart technologies around AI and big data to improve their talent management systems. In a  world of work that is increasingly virtual (and perhaps even only virtual), the volume of data  available to understand and predict employees’ behaviours will continue to grow exponentially,  enabling more opportunities for managing through HR Analytics. As such, people analytics is a  deliberate and systematic attempt to make organizations more evidence-based, talent-centric, and  meritocratic, which, one would hope, should make them more effective.
