People Analytics for Workforce Planning

People analytics, or HR analytics, involves using data analysis and

insights to make informed decisions about an organization's
workforce. It includes collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data
related to employee performance, engagement..

● Using numbers and data to plan how a team works

better. It helps save money, find good people, and make
the team stronger.
● It's like showing how using data helped some companies
do their work better. For example, finding the right
people to hire or keeping employees happy.
● Making choices based on facts and numbers instead of
just guessing. It's important because it helps businesses
be better, learn from mistakes, and do things smarter.

● Workforce planning is like planning a team for a game. It means
thinking ahead about who you need, what skills they should have,
and when you need them.
● Imagine a puzzle. Workforce planning is like finding the right
puzzle pieces (employees) that fit the picture (organizational
goals).
● Think of it like cooking. You need the right ingredients
(employees) in the right amounts. Workforce planning considers
things like how many people, what skills, and when to hire or train
them.
● Workforce planning uses different tools and ways to figure out who
is needed and when. This can include looking at past data, talking
to team leaders, and using technology to predict future needs.
