HR analytics and HR technology

Using data and systems in HR.

📖 Key ideas

  1. An HRMS (human resource management system) stores employee records, attendance, leave and payroll.
  2. Applicant tracking systems (ATS) manage job openings and candidates.
  3. Key HR metrics: attrition rate, time to hire, cost per hire, absenteeism and training hours.
  4. Attrition rate is roughly people who left divided by average headcount, for a period.
  5. Employee data is personal data and must be protected with access controls.
💡 Real-life example: Like a doctor reading test reports: numbers such as attrition and absenteeism show where the organisation is unhealthy.
