The HCM industry just spent billions adding AI to people analytics. It still can’t tell you who’s about to leave. Here’s the problem nobody’s saying out loud. Workday. UKG. SAP. Oracle. Every major platform has launched an AI analytics capability in the last 18 months. The pitch is the same across all of them: predictive attrition. Forward-looking insight. Act before it’s too late. The intent is right. The data layer is wrong. Every one of these models is built on self-report inputs: Engagement survey scores. Pulse ratings. Manager assessments. Performance reviews. The AI is sophisticated. The input is not. Because the employees most at risk of leaving are the least likely to tell you the truth. They’ve already mentally checked out. They don’t complete surveys. They filter. They say what’s safe. Response rates for enterprise engagement surveys are already below 50% in many large organisations. When people are gaming the input, no amount of AI fixes the output. The signal that actually predicts flight risk isn’t in your HR system. It’s in your operational data. Shift acceptance patterns. Unplanned absence frequency. Productivity drift. After-call work time. Voluntary overtime take-up. Escalation rates. These signals don’t require an employee to report anything. They’re the natural output of someone still showing up but who has already left emotionally. That data exists in almost every large organisation right now. In scheduling systems. WFM platforms. CCaaS infrastructure. Attendance records. The HCM analytics layer isn’t reading it. It wasn’t built to. The global HCM market is worth $47 billion and growing at 9% annually. Workday just spent $1.1 billion on an AI acquisition. ADP launched a new analytics suite. The investment is real. But the structural flaw in the data model isn’t being fixed by any of them. It’s being papered over with better interfaces. And the CHROs who’ve been burned by engagement tools that promised prediction and delivered retrospective dashboards are running out of patience. The next breakthrough in people analytics won’t look like an upgrade. It’ll look like a different category entirely.

Accepted 🎯Our new paper is out in Human Resource Management Review: “Reframing people analytics value creation” https://lnkd.in/etgM35eF Most organisations conflate value capture with value creation in people analytics, yet the two operate on fundamentally different logics. 🧮 Value capture is about optimisation. It focuses on reducing turnover, improving efficiency, lowering the cost of workforce decisions, and achieving KPIs more quickly. These outcomes are important, but they are not sufficient. This approach is centred on extracting more value from existing systems. 💡 Value creation, in contrast, is about amplification. It involves improving wellbeing and the sustainability of work, reducing inequality and bias, enabling stronger careers and capability development, and strengthening long-term human capital. Here, the focus shifts from extraction to expansion - broadening what is possible rather than refining what already exists. ⚠️The challenge is that most people analytics functions remain anchored in capture mode. They optimise the system they have, rather than questioning whether it is the right system to begin with. It is akin to tuning an engine without considering whether the direction of travel is correct. What we suggest: - Stop treating people analytics as a reporting function. If dashboards only track turnover, engagement, or productivity, they capture value but do not create it. - Avoid the efficiency trap. Pushing analytics purely toward cost reduction leads to diminishing returns. - Design analytics around decisions, not metrics. The starting point should be the human problems to be solved - burnout, inequality, capability gaps—and analytics should be built backwards from these questions. - Move from an inside-out to an outside-in orientation. The most effective people analytics functions connect workforce data to broader outcomes such as wellbeing, fairness, inclusion, and decent work, rather than focusing solely on performance. - Aim for the middle of the spectrum (see Figure 1 in the paper). The highest value emerges when organisations simultaneously improve performance and advance human and societal outcomes. Thank you, Steven McCartney Sadhbh Crean Amy Fahy

📊How accurately can we predict turnover and workers’ comp claims a year in advance? Turnover and workers' comp claims are costly for organisations and difficult experiences for employees. Knowing where risk is likely to emerge gives HR and Health & Safety teams a chance to proactively manage it. But how accurately can these outcomes be predicted in advance? To explore this, we trained a gradient-boosted decision tree model on data from the Household, Income, and Labour Dynamics in Australia survey (2001–2023), which included 191,000 observations from nearly 25,000 workers. We used predictors that mirror what most HR systems or engagement surveys capture including demographics, tenure, role characteristics, compensation, benefits, and job satisfaction. We trained on 80% of the workers and tested on the remaining 20%. What we found: 🎯 Triple the Accuracy for the Highest-Risk Individuals: The top 3% flagged were 3.5× more likely to actually leave or claim than a random 3%. 🔬Double the Overall Prediction Quality: Across the whole workforce, the model was over twice as good as chance at separating higher- from lower-risk employees. 🔍 Concentrated Risk for Intervention: The top 10% flagged accounted for nearly 3× more cases than expected by chance. What this means: Even a year in advance, a data-driven approach can provide a strong signal to help focus retention and safety efforts. The accuracy, while not perfect, is high enough to be useful, especially when a model like this is used to support the expertise of managers, organisational psychologists, and other specialists. It can help HR and Health & Safety teams develop proactive and targeted risk management efforts. The exciting thing is that this was all with broad, national survey data. With higher-quality internal data from a single organisation, predictive accuracy could be even stronger. But the challenge is making sure the right data is being collected and shared between units and systems, which is often the hardest part of turning analytics into action. #PeopleAnalytics #PredictiveAnalytics #EmployeeTurnover #HRTech #MachineLearning #WorkplaceSafety #DataScience #HR

The future of culture analytics isn't just measuring what happened. It's predicting what will happen and prescribing what should happen next. Most HR analytics remain stubbornly retrospective—reporting on past engagement scores, historical turnover, or completed training. This backward-looking approach limits HR's strategic impact. The most advanced culture-first tech stacks are now incorporating three progressive levels of analytics: 1. Predictive Analytics: Using historical patterns to forecast future outcomes • Flight risk prediction based on engagement trends and manager interactions • Performance trajectory forecasting based on learning activity and feedback patterns • Team effectiveness projections based on collaboration metrics and skill distribution 2. Prescriptive Analytics: Recommending specific interventions based on predicted outcomes • Targeted retention strategies for high-risk, high-value talent • Personalized development recommendations to address emerging skill gaps • Team composition suggestions to optimize collaboration and innovation 3. Adaptive Analytics: Systems that learn from intervention results to continuously improve recommendations • Tracking which culture initiatives most effectively address specific challenges • Identifying which manager behaviors most consistently improve team engagement • Quantifying the ROI of different approaches to recognition, development, and communication Organizations implementing these advanced capabilities are transforming HR from a reactive function to a predictive force that shapes business outcomes through precisely targeted culture interventions. The technology to enable this transformation exists today—the question is whether your organization is ready to embrace it. ♻ Repost if you found this insightful 📣 Follow me, Anthony Calleo, for EX insights 🌐 Contact Calleo EX for a free consultation #EmployeeExperience #EX #CalleoEX #WorkplaceCulture #HumanResources #EmployeeEngagement #DataDrivenCulture #DataDrivenLeadership

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Recent data confirms a pattern I'm seeing around the world: 76% of HR leaders believe they'll lag behind if they don't implement AI solutions in the next 12-24 months [Morgan Stanley 2025]. Yet their current People Analytics maturity tells a different story.   While 48% of HR professionals think their teams excel at gathering people data, only 40% feel confident analyzing it, and just 22% believe they're effectively using People Analytics [Crunchr 2024]. This gap reveals the real opportunity.   People Analytics has always been about using evidence-based practices to design people processes that build workforce capabilities for innovation. But AI changes what counts as evidence.   Traditional PA relied on surveys and reviews collected months after decisions were made. AI-powered people analytics now allows teams to predict workforce trends with 90% accuracy [AiMultiple 2025] - shifting from looking backward to looking forward. Instead of waiting to see if team formation worked, you can analyze collaboration patterns in real-time to predict which groups will generate breakthrough ideas.   Innovation measurement becomes visible at every stage. In hiring, AI analyzes how candidates approach ambiguous problems rather than screening for past experience. Interview analytics increase hiring accuracy by 40% [Josh Bersin 2024] by identifying cognitive patterns that predict innovative potential.   For team formation, workforce analytics improve efficiency by 40% [Gartner 2025] by examining behavioral compatibility and complementary cognitive approaches. Learning shifts from generic training to personalized innovation skills based on work patterns.   By 2025, 90% of HR decisions will be supported by AI-driven analytics [HireBee 2025], enabling PA professionals to track the complete chain from evidence to business outcomes. You can measure frequency of novel idea generation, speed of concept development, cross-functional collaboration quality - then connect these innovation indicators directly to specific people process changes.   The challenge? Many HR professionals lack expertise in data analytics, limiting their ability to use advanced analytics [AiMultiple 2025]. Plus AI algorithms can embed bias from past innovation successes that may optimize for incremental rather than disruptive breakthroughs.

𝐀 $𝟓𝐌 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦—𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐐𝟐. Not through a new retention program. Not through exit interviews. But through people analytics. One of our enterprise clients noticed an unexpected spike in high-performer exits—specifically in two product teams. Instead of guessing, their HRBP used early warning signals from internal mobility, engagement dips, and compensation mismatches. They uncovered a pattern: Mid-level engineers weren’t leaving for money—they were leaving for 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡. And this need an fix → A rapid redesign of career pathing and peer mentorship across engineering. Three months later: → Voluntary attrition dropped by 𝟑𝟔% → Internal mobility rose by 𝟐𝟐% → Estimated cost avoidance? $𝟓𝐌+ This isn’t a one-off. According to Deloitte, companies using advanced people analytics are 𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐩𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 and 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲.

People Analytics has changed more in 10 years than some fields in 50. Yuyan Sun’s latest piece captures how the function matured and what comes next. This is not just about better tools. It’s a redefinition of the work. From fragmented tools to intelligent systems, from projects to products the shift is real. Here are the key pieces from Part Two of the series: 1. The Foundation Age (2014–2016) People Analytics began with predictive hiring and experimental tools. Most teams were still proving their value inside HR. Prediction reigned, but often reinforced bias rather than driving change. Storytelling emerged as a vital skill for impact. 2. The Expansion Age (2017–2019) Network analysis came to the forefront. Focus shifted from individuals to relationships and team dynamics. Behavioral science and continuous listening entered the equation. AI appeared in early HR use cases like chatbots and screening. 3. The Crisis Response Age (2020–2022) The pandemic accelerated demand for integrated platforms. Remote work created a new need for visibility. Governance, ethics, and privacy became urgent. Listening tools and workforce planning became essential. 4. The AI Age (2023–Present) Generative AI is reshaping every layer of People Analytics. The “last mile” problem is being solved with intelligent agents. We’re moving beyond dashboards to adaptive, responsive systems. AI is driving a shift to integrated, always-on frameworks. Analytics is becoming infrastructure, not reporting. What changed? Analytics used to be one-off—run it, report it, move on. Now, it is continuous, iterative, and built like a product. This shift increases impact, usability, and long-term value. Teams now build and ship tools, not just charts. This is not a future trend. It is already here. Yuyan’s piece is one of the clearest summaries of this shift. Find the full article in the comments below and subscribe before Part Three drops.
