Reviews & Testimonials
This is the book on workforce analytics for the serious practitioners in HR, scholars, and students alike. It brings back the strategic perspective by linking the workforce with how the company creates value and builds competitive edge. Outlining how analytics is properly done, it provides tips and tricks to avoid the pitfalls. Co-authored by some of the most renowned scholars in the field, this is bound to become the reference and standard for strategic work force analytics that add value to business for years to come. I thank the authors for painstakingly putting this together and strongly recommend HR to use it to improve its strategic impact while developing people’s ultimate potential.

Workforce Analytics is a capability whose time has come. For too long, Analytics was “Reporting in disguise”. Now analytics generates real insights, tells us something we don’t know and offers the promise of powerful predictions. To reap this potential, we need to be able to ask the right questions, understand what to expect from Analytics colleagues and focus on insights that meaningfully impact strategic talent and business outcomes. Written to appeal to both academics and practitioners alike, this book points the way forward to using Workforce Analytics as a potential game-changing capability that - when done right - can build real competitive advantage.
