Trends and Practices in Talent Analytics

December 22, 2017

Increasingly, organizations are investing in or upgrading their efforts in talent analytics. Based on 22 interviews with academics, consultants and practitioners at 16 corporations and other talent analytics experts, this paper offers a review of key approaches, competencies and tools. Examples of sophisticated talent analytics projects to address human resource challenges and organizational dynamics are also provided. We find that successful talent analytics depends on mandates, structure and operationalization, and responses to obstacles. By classifying talent analytics work into three broad categories data infrastructure and reporting, advanced analytics, and organizational research we offer a high-level roadmap for building and growing the talent analytics function.
