Basics of People Analytics

What is people analytics and how is it different than what HR has always  done?   I looked at my 4-year old HR textbook and people analytics was not  mentioned anywhere (nor was 'workforce analytics' or just 'analytics').  My guest, Allen Hornung, thinks this is because it is a quickly emerging  element of HR.    This episode goes into the basics of people analytics - what it is and  how it differs from the activities we are more accustomed to.  There is  so much power for insights and decision-making in this work! Check it  out!
