How can HR departments recruit better hires, experience less turnover,
increase productivity in their employees, and have more effective
processes overall? The simple answer to this is with Big Data. A recent
article from Modern Survey argues that big data should be an imperative part of
HR business processes. The idea of Big Data is to take numerous databases and
processes and synchronize them to function together, almost like an
orchestra. In return, your company will be able to “harness and optimize”
your workforce. Using Big Data allows HR to identify the best hires
possible via predicative analysis.
In order to create the ideal workforce with strong analytics, be sure to kick-off
your research with the following three steps:
1) Ensure that data is collected consistently over time,
2) Implement strong management “with a good set of business
questions for study,”
3) Involve a competent analyst who understands your business.
These steps allow HR teams to predict who will succeed at a company, who may
not be a good match, and how engaged an employee will be after one year of
employment. This data even allows HR to determine when someone is close
to leaving a company within a year. To gather accurate results, HR should
be assessing performance and engagement annually and for the best results,
assessment should be completed quarterly. Being able to analyze and
predict all of these pieces of information can help a company save a
significant amount of money in the long run and enable them to target areas of
improvement within the company. While at first it may seem time consuming
to put time and effort into analyzing this data, it can ultimately prove to be
a good investment for your company.
