What drives HR decision-making? As noted by HR News, 79 percent of HR leaders surveyed believe all “people decisions” should be based on data and analytics, but only 34 percent of organizations use data to make these decisions and 92 percent struggle to gain data-driven strategic insight.
The disconnect? In some cases, HR leaders have an overabundance of information but lack the right HR data analytics tools. In others, HR departments aren’t prepared to make the digital shift. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) notes that many leaders are conservative about adopting new technologies and updating best practices. The solution? HR pros must learn to leverage (and love) big data.
