The Four Pillars of People Analytics
People Analytics uses data to improve the employee experience, empower leaders, and create value for the business. Industry research shows that while People Analytics teams have grown in size, less than 20% consistently deliver valuable insights that are used by business leaders. At ikona, we see the most successful teams have developed capabilities across what we call the Four Pillars of People Analytics: Governance, Infrastructure, Methods, and Products.
Governance
Programmatic mechanisms and tools to define, acquire, and ethically manage access to data, intentionally designed on principles that safeguard employee trust, manage risk, and promote data decision-making velocity.
Infrastructure
Scalable database technologies and tools used to encode, organize, and secure workforce data in various formats from multiple sources, while ensuring system performance and democratized data that is curated for analytics.
Methods
Discovery of new and valuable information, often in response to a question or hypothesis, using scientific methods such as data exploration, statistical testing, qualitative research, and quantitative data modeling.
Products
Creation of intuitive analytic solutions that are personalized to inform - not replace - human decisions, ranging from simple reports, to insight inspection mechanisms, to predictions embedded into daily workflows.
People Analytics is a journey.
There are common denominators to consider when building or evolving your program, but every organization is unique. You have culture to shape, behavior to change, customer problems to solve, and business outcomes to impact. Start your jouney on the right path by benchmarking your capabilities against the Four Pillars of People Analytics.
