People analytics lives at the intersection of statistics, behavioral science, technology, and the people strategy. To succeed in business, you have to understand and value people. All successful companies revolve around human needs. Business insights and decisions about human capital such as who to hire, what to pay them, what benefits to provide, whom to promote, and many more have a considerable unseen impact on the company’s ability to meet customer needs, bottom-line performance, and reputation. Thanks to the prevalence of human resource information systems, plus the wide-scale accessibility of modern data collection, analysis, and visualization tools, human resources-related decisions can be made with data just like countless other business decisions.
