Background and objectives
Need of HR analytics & reporting
Many organizations have high quality HR data (residing with a multitude of systems, such as
the HRMS, performance management, learning, compensation, survey, etc.) but still struggle to
use it effectively to predict workforce trends, minimize risks and maximize returns.
The costs of attrition, poor hiring, sub-optimal compensation, keeping below par employees, bad
training & learning strategies are just too high
Data-driven insights to make decisions are always better than judgmental (subjective) HR
practices in terms of
how to recruit
whom to hire
how to onboard and train employees
how they keep employees informed and engaged through their tenure with the organization
Hence regular tracking and prediction of crucial HR metrics is indispensable
Objectives
Predict attrition especially amongst high performers.
Forecast the right fitment for aspiring employee
Predict how compensation values will pan out.
Establish linkages between Employee engagement score and C-Sat scores(Work in progress)

HR Reporting and Analytics: Level-2
HR metrics and ratios–HR operational metrics will help us tracking the efficiency of various functions in
HR department. We can define control limits to each of these metrics and track them on regular basis
Turnover ratio
(Number of attritions in a year)/ (Average head count in a year)
Joiners rate(Accession ratio)
(Number of joiners in a year)/ (Average head count in a year)
Stability index
(Number of FTE with >3 years tenure in current organization)/ (Current head count)
Low performer management
Denominator : Employees with low performance rating in last year
Numerator: Distribution of above employees across
Improved performance rating in current year
Same performance rating in current year
Leavers in current year
Promotion ratio
(Number of promotions in a period of time)/ (Average head count over same period)
A high number indicates hidden
costs and delays, which damage
productivity
Joiners Rate: The ratio of new
and replacement hires as the
percentage of total employment
Metric Insights Action points
Focus on new hire and employee
retention strategies

10. Trendwise Analytics
Availability historical HR data gives us lot of scope to analyze past patterns and predict future
behaviors
Attrition forecasting : Given historical attrition trends, we can estimate future attrition
percentages up to a certain confidence level
Attrition Segmentation : Segmentation will be done based on employee profiles &
attrition rates. Most impacting employee characteristics on attrition will be identified
Top performer segmentation: Segmentation of employees based on their profile data and
performance indices. This will help us to identify top performing employees and their
characteristics
Compensation Analysis and compensation tool: A tool that predicts optimal
compensation for a given employee based on his capabilities, company policies, market
conditions.
New hire strategies: New hire strategies will be build by performing attrition segmentation
in combination with top performer analysis

Fair compensation tool
Project
Stage
Description
Stage-1
Divide overall compensation into four major components;
Company, Employee, Market and general followed by identification of
top drivers in each quadrant
Stage-2
Study historical data to find the relation between compensation and
attributes in each quadrant , using SAS
Stage-3
Use predictive analysis in SAS(multiple linear regression) to
quantify the relation between compensation and attributes
Stage-4
Using above models, build a fair compensation prediction tool
that covers all the relevant attributes from each quadrant
Stage-5
Use the results obtained from predictive analysis to estimate the
optimal compensation for a given employee
Approach
List main drivers of compensation, find the impact of each of these on
compensation using historical data, use these models and build a tool that
predicts compensation

Voice of employee survey analysis & drivers of satisfaction
Reporting: Descriptive statistics like overall satisfaction, satisfaction by various
cuts(regions, processes etc.,)
Driver Analysis (part-1): Identification of main drivers of employee satisfaction based on
survey data
E.g: If we have five sub questions in survey, we try to identify the top two factors which are impacting overall
employee satisfaction. We find out these by using multivariate logistics regression
Driver Analysis (part-2): Merging of survey responders data with employee profile and
performance data. Identification of main drivers of satisfaction from non surveyed variables
E.g ; We consider variables like employee tenure with the company, employee performance, skill sets & some
other demographic variables to see weather one or more of these are impacting on overall employee
satisfaction
Analysis of verbatim comments:
Descriptive analysis of positive , negative and neutral comments
Identification of frequently mentioned topics and their positive negative frequencies
