HR.com Unveils State of People Analytics 2024 Study and Advisory Board

HR.com, the largest network of human resources (HR) executives, has announced the formation of an advisory board for its State of People Analytics 2024 study. This initiative marks a significant step in advancing the field of HR analytics and its impact on workforce management and organizational success.

The newly appointed advisory board, comprising 12 industry thought leaders, will work closely with HR.com's HR Research Institute (HRRI) to shape the direction of the study and contribute to the development of best practices in people analytics. People analytics, also known as HR analytics or workforce analytics, involves the collection and analysis of data to inform decision-making and enhance talent management strategies.

This collaborative effort aims to capture the current state of people analytics practices across organizations and provide valuable insights to HR professionals seeking to leverage data for improved productivity, engagement, and overall business success. The research findings will be published in a comprehensive study and summarized in a two-page infographic, offering accessible insights for HR practitioners at all levels.

The advisory board includes experts from diverse backgrounds, including Chris Coleman from Western Governors University, Jenna Filipkowski from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and Kevin Gorman from Wells Fargo, among others. Their collective expertise will be instrumental in guiding the research process and ensuring that the study addresses the most pressing issues in the field of people analytics.

In addition to shaping the research, the advisory board will play a crucial role in HR.com's upcoming State of People Analytics Virtual Event, scheduled for September 18, 2024. Board members will contribute to the event's content by recommending presenters and session topics, ensuring that attendees receive cutting-edge insights and practical knowledge.

Debbie McGrath, CEO and Chief Instigator of HR.com, emphasized the value of the advisory board's contributions, stating, "We appreciate the leadership and insights these industry thought leaders bring, enhancing the value of our HR analytics content for the entire HR community."

The State of People Analytics 2024 study builds upon HR.com's previous research in this area, including last year's report and infographic on The State of People Analytics 2023-2024. These resources, along with other HR-focused research reports, are available for free download through the HR.com Research Institute.

The formation of this advisory board and the upcoming study underscore the growing importance of data-driven decision-making in HR practices. As organizations increasingly recognize the value of leveraging workforce data to inform strategic decisions, the insights provided by this research will be crucial for HR professionals looking to enhance their analytics capabilities and drive organizational success.

HR professionals interested in staying informed about the latest developments in people analytics and other HR topics can access HR.com's extensive library of research reports and participate in the upcoming virtual event. The platform also offers opportunities for HR practitioners to contribute to future research through its research influencer panel, allowing them to share insights and shape the future of HR practices.

As the field of people analytics continues to evolve, initiatives like HR.com's State of People Analytics 2024 study play a vital role in bridging the gap between academic research and practical application, empowering HR professionals to make more informed decisions and drive positive outcomes for their organizations.
