HR analytics is the process of understanding the story behind your people data. Also known as workforce or people analytics, it encompasses everything from recruitment and retention to diversity, engagement and performance, providing clarity on what your team needs to thrive, grow and feel valued.
With HR analytics, you can explore questions like:
Most organisations already have the answers to some of these questions – they just haven’t consolidated or analysed the data to see them clearly. That’s why Datamine begins with understanding what data exists, how it’s structured, and how it can be combined to deliver useful insights. From there, we apply advanced analytics techniques to find patterns and provide practical recommendations tailored to your specific context.
Your people are one of your most important assets. However, decisions about them are often based on intuition, historical norms or ad hoc surveys. HR analytics supports evidence-based people management, which balances individual well-being and fairness with organisational goals.
With the right insights, your HR and leadership teams can:
Hire with purpose. Understand which qualities and channels lead to strong, values-aligned hires
Keep your best people. Discover what motivates your team and how to create an environment they want to stay in
Support inclusion. Track your progress on equity and representation, and highlight opportunities for improvement
Build meaningful development. Identify training gaps and ensure development programmes are what your people truly need
Plan for the future. Anticipate workforce needs and build a resilient, future-ready team
Datamine’s HR analytics service encompasses the entire employee journey – from attracting talent to supporting their long-term success. Each of our solutions is customised based on your organisation’s needs and priorities.
Hiring isn’t just about filling roles – it’s about finding people who will grow with your business. Our recruitment analytics will dig into your hiring pipeline to measure performance at every stage – from application to onboarding.
We’ll help you answer questions like:
These insights can help you shape a recruitment process that’s more efficient, equitable and effective.
Turnover is a big problem for many industries. However, the reasons employees leave are often unknown or undocumented. Retention and turnover analysis will help you uncover the patterns behind turnover, recognise early signs of disengagement, and design strategies to build belonging, trust and loyalty.
Real progress doesn’t happen without measurement and clear visibility. DEI analytics shows how inclusive your organisation truly is across hiring, pay, promotions and representation – and where your next steps should be.
Training can make or break careers. You can evaluate the real-world impact of your learning and development efforts, like what courses directly correlate with improved performance, how people respond to different learning styles, and where your organisation may have skills gaps. With this information, you can invest wisely in programmes that build confidence, capability and growth.
Planning your future workforce doesn’t have to be driven by guesswork. Predictive analytics tools enable you to model various scenarios and anticipate future hiring needs based on business growth or change, emerging skills gaps that may impact long-term success, and key leadership transitions.
With HR and people analytics, you get insights into talent acquisition, performance management and overall workforce needs. And, when you understand your people better, you can make decisions that benefit everyone – your team, your culture and your bottom line.
Our deliverables are tailored to address your most important business questions, providing clear and actionable recommendations that you can actually use.
When you know what your people need to feel supported, inspired and engaged, you can build a workplace they’re proud to be part of.
With evidence-based insights, you can support your strategy with hard data (instead of gut feelings), which is easier to share with stakeholders.
Understand which initiatives truly make a difference. Focus your energy and resources on the programmes, tools and experiences that have the greatest positive impact on your team.
People analytics isn’t just about solving problems. It helps you create the kind of environment where people want to do their best work – and that gives you a competitive edge.
