You need to correlate the two. One without the other doesn\u2019t really tell us much. It\u2019s nice to know whether our employees are happy, for instance; but we can\u2019t do much with that unless we know what\u2019s driving that sentiment. This is maybe the biggest mistake HR departments make today: they measure outcomes (e.g. turnover, employee engagement, satisfaction, etc), but they don\u2019t measure the drivers. And they end up with a ton of data they can\u2019t really do anything with. \u00a0So here are some ideas for getting started with HR analytics that you can actually do something with. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"square-cta secondary-lined-cta\" href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/a\/showEntry.do?mode=workforce&amp;classID=1024&amp;sourceRef=blog-workforce\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Create a free account<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><b>3 HR Analytics Every Manager Should Have<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>1. Capability Analytics: <\/b>The success of any workplace depends on the level of expertise held by the individual employees. <i>Capability analytics<\/i> help you identify the core competencies of your workforce. What do you need, what do you have, what are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/gap-analysis\/\">gaps<\/a>? You\u2019ll want to measure this often, by the way; competency and proficiency, after all, can easily wane.<\/p>\n<p><b>2. Capacity Analytics: <\/b>If you want to know how efficient your workforce really is, start gathering some capacity analytics. Are your people spending time on the right things? Are there obstacles or distractions? How much waste do you have in the system? Identify the list of things &#8211; actions, activities, behaviors &#8211; that you know to drive your organization\u2019s success. Find out how much time your employees spend doing things that aren\u2019t on that list and then try to get rid of those things.<\/p>\n<p><b style=\"text-align: center;\">3. Workplace Culture Analytics: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contrary to popular belief, culture really can be measured. We can attach data to culture &#8211; we can measure it, we can analyze it, and we do something (powerful) with it. Be clear: culture is NOT employee engagement. One is the outcome (employee engagement) and one is the driver (culture). And this takes us full-circle.
