How Companies are using Talent Analytics
September 28, 2010
Interesting article in the HBR on how organizations are using analytics to use employee data to better performance. Here are some examples:
What’s driving this shift to analytics? Certainly, companies today want more from their talent. That’s why some are reinventing a whole range of people practices: Netflix has tossed aside traditional HR absence policies, and Best Buy’s corporate office eschews standard work schedules. Analytics takes the guesswork out of fresh management approaches. At the same time, voluminous “digital trails” of data from knowledge management systems and social networks are now available for analysis. The public relations firm Ketchum, for example, analyzed personal networks in its London office to learn how easily information flowed across teams. Cognizant, a U.S.-based professional services firm with many employees in India, analyzed social media contributions, particularly blogs. It found that bloggers were more engaged and satisfied than others and performed about 10% better, on average. Here’s how other organizations use analytics to improve their management of human capital: • Almost every company we’ve studied says it values employee engagement, but some—including Starbucks, Limited Brands, and Best Buy—can precisely identify the value of a 0.1% increase in engagement among employees at a particular store. At Best Buy, for example, that value is more than $100,000 in the store’s annual operating income. • Many companies favor job candidates with stellar academic records from prestigious schools—but AT&T and Google have established through quantitative analysis that a demonstrated ability to take initiative is a far better predictor of high performance on the job. • Employee attrition can be less of a problem when managers see it coming. Sprint has identified the factors that best foretell which employees will leave after a relatively short time. (Hint: Don’t expect a long tenure from someone who hasn’t signed up for the retirement program.) • Professional sports teams, with their outsize expenditures on talent, have been leading users of analytics. To protect its investments, the soccer team AC Milan created its own biomedical research unit. Drawing on some 60,000 data points for each player, the unit helps the team gauge players’ health and fitness and make contract decisions.
Thoughts on Social HR
September 27, 2010
I have earlier blogged about how HR can use social media to become HR 2.0 or to build talent communities, but when my twitter buddies @prem_k and @sameerpatel were discussing “social” everything including “social HR” I realised that there are more implications of social HR than I have earlier articulated.
So how is it different?
What I had blogged about earlier was how HR departments and professionals could leverage social media to achieve their goals.
But with “Social HR” I am potentially thinking a very disruptive thought.
Can employees and HR professionals and management folks together work together using social media – to do work that was only done by HR people?
Let’s think about the aspects of HR work and what can be made “social”
- Recruitment: How about talent show where prospective candidates perform tasks and are voted up or down by current employees – and final selection of the finalists by the hiring managers. These tasks could be results or the process of doing the role itself. It could be text based, photographic or video based too. These folks can be pre-screened based on their interests and participation on the company’s external communities. Of course some roles would be more suited to this than others.
- Compensation & Benefits: How about a Quora like internal question and answer site that helps users to resolve each others queries on how to craft their own “cafeteria compensation” plan. And a group voting site on rewards and recognition for fellow employees.
- HR Processes: This has been done. Dell employees use an internal platform to give ideas to improve systems and processes.
- Employee Engagement: We all know that an internal corporate social network can leverage connections that exist between employees and also help in serendipitous discovery of new knowledge and innovation by getting people to collaborate and discover new people whom they might not ever have met face to face. Here’s a short 5 slide presentation I put together to help illustrate my point

- Learning & Development: Employee engagement and collaboration helps people to learn from fellow employees. These tools can also be used by trainers to add more to the classroom and create a community of learners who can continue to share experiences and be a support group as they implement learnings in their workplace
So are you ready for the social HR?
I thought so
