What is people analytics and how is it different than what HR has always done?

I looked at my 4-year old HR textbook and people analytics was not mentioned anywhere (nor was 'workforce analytics' or just 'analytics'). My guest, Allen Hornung, thinks this is because it is a quickly emerging element of HR.

This episode goes into the basics of people analytics - what it is and how it differs from the activities we are more accustomed to. There is so much power for insights and decision-making in this work! Check it out!
