People Analytics: Big Data is HR’s next frontier

Big Data is a very powerful resource that has been extensively mined in various fields, especially consumer analysis. In Human Resources though, and particularly in Japan, it is a relatively new idea to use collected and aggregated behavioral data from employees to optimize recruitment, talent retention, resource planning, performance optimization, among other possibilities… If you wish to know more about People Analytics and how it can strengthen the role of HR in your organization, come listen to the University of Cambridge’s Peter Romero for what promises to be a thought-provoking lunch seminar!

About People Analytics

Employees produce more and more data, which can be used to optimize organizational processes and tackle strategic challenges to stay ahead of the competition in todays data driven and fast-paced economy. For this, People Analytics combines Psychology and Machine Learning. Typical challenges include redaction of optimal career paths, which persons to staff project teams with, and improving quality-of-hire based on existing top performers. Unlike classical HR, People Analytics is data-driven, and delivers hard facts that are needed for the strategy table.
