 TYPES OF HR ANALYTICS
• Capability analytics
The success of business depends on the level of expertise and skill of your workforce. Capability
analytics is a talent management process that allows you to identify the capabilities or core
competencies you want and need in your business.
• Capacity analytics
Capacity analytics seeks to establish how operationally efficient people are in a business, e.g. are
people spending too much time on admin and not enough on more profitable work, or are
individuals stretched far too thin? It also allows businesses to establish of how much capacity they
have to grow.
• Employee churn analytics
Hiring employees, training them and then integrating them into the business costs time and money.
Employee churn analytics is the process of assessing your staff turnover rates in an attempt to

Culture is notoriously difficult to pin point and even harder to change. It is essentially the collective
(often unspoken) rules, systems and patterns of behavior that embody your business. Corporate
culture analytics is therefore the process of assessing and understanding more about your corporate
culture or the different cultures that exists across your organization.
• Employee performance analytics
Employee performance analytics seeks to assess individual employee performance. The
resulting insights can identify who is performing well and who may need some additional
training or support in order to raise their game. Today, we have many innovative ways of
collecting and analyzing performance, from crowdsourced performance assessments to big
data analytics.
• Leadership analytics
Leadership analytics unpacks the various dimensions of leadership performance via data to
uncover the good, the bad and the ugly. Data about leadership performance can be gained
through the use of surveys, focus groups, employee interviews or ethnography.

the Boss Who Might Quit”. The article explored how Credit Suisse was able to predict who might
quit the company. It was one of the first examples of the now very popular employee churn
analytics.
• Not only were the analysts at Credit Suisse able to predict who might quit, but they also could
identify why these people might quit. This information was provided anonymously to managers
so they could reduce turnover risk factors (here’s how to calculate employee turnover) and retain
their people better.
