HR analytics software use cases

With a range of in-built and in-depth guidebooks and topics for analysis, stakeholders can easily get answers to the big questions, from ‘where is turnover impacting us most and why?’, ‘who are we currently hiring/promoting’ to ‘where do we need to improve DE&I?’

Some examples of topics you can analyse include:

  • Key HR metrics - covering multiple ways to see your headcount data, including by job name, employment type, ethnicity, gender and projected headcount.

  • Organisation overview - analyse key organisational level changes from headcount to average employee age and budgeted pay. Identify whether your YoY average age of your workforce is changing to put plans in place to attract a different employee demographic.

  • Attrition - drill down into year-on-year changes in turnover by manager, ethnicity, role, location and more and identify employee exit trends. Review employees’ reasons for leaving and drive internal training where needed.

  • Employee diversity - look at trends of female employees by location, tenure, age, job type and resignation rates to identify and address any underrepresentation of specific groups.

  • Career mobility and promotions - identify trends of employees leaving the organisation or progressing within the business.

  • Employee starts - see how many new starters you’ve employed by gender, compared to previous period and even by generation.

  • Headcount forecasting - analyse trends from resignation rates, retirement and involuntary turnover to put preventative actions in place if the data does not align with your projections.

  • Pay - get a breadth of payroll data and reports from actual vs budgeted costs, total rewards, labour costs, gender pay gap and trends to pay changes.

HR analytics software FAQs

What is HR reporting software? 

HR analytics software helps your HR team to collect and analyse data and track important people metrics. HR analytics, or workforce analytics as it is sometimes known, provides a data-driven approach to decision making by helping you to answer critical questions about your business and by identifying the HR department's impact on business performance.  HR analytics software will help demonstrate ROI from your investment and add real business value.  

What kind of metrics does HR reporting software track?

HR reporting software is designed to provide insights into a lot of various aspects of your workforce, including common metrics that cover everything from headcount forecasting to pay such as cost per hire, payroll budgets and turnover rate.

How do I get started with HR Analytics software?

To get started with HR analytics software, it will help to know what data you already have and what is missing, along with what reports you want to see to support decision-making. From here, you will need to review your current HR software to discover whether you have the information you need.

 

Often, HR departments are using multiple systems in siloes leading to inaccurate data from one system to another. Fully integrated HR software like PeopleXD ensures all of your data across your people management systems and processes is connected, leading to a single-source of truth for your HR reports.

Why is HR reporting important?

HR reporting is essential for data-driven decision making, improving HR efficiency, and ensuring the business is running at optimal efficiency. You’ll gain valuable insights into the management of your workforce, giving you the opportunity to optimise operations, plan ahead strategically, and create a positive work environment.

We already use Excel for reporting. Is HR analytics software too sophisticated for my organisation?

The topic of analytics can seem daunting for organisations without expertise in data analysis. However, many organisations we speak to struggle to answer what may seem like simple questions, yet getting access to accurate data in a timely manner and a format they need can be extremely difficult.


We understand that many businesses still use Excel for their reporting needs. However, this can often lack scalability. Handling large amounts of data in spreadsheets also comes with security risks and is a time-consuming and manual exercise, with a lot of initial data entry to get started. 


Access to consistent data doesn’t need to involve experts and manual work to analyse. Our HR reporting software is scalable, flexible and secure, and has a low learning curve. Understanding things like staff turnover and spotting absenteeism trends can help ensure you are planning your budget accordingly and demonstrating ROI. Organisations ready to invest in People Analytics at every step of the employee lifecycle will have access to an enduring database that will help them use people and talent data to drive business results.
