For the past few years, every HR related trends post included predictive analytics. So, what exactly are predictive analytics? I like to think of it this way: HR metrics tell you what happened in the past. For example, time to fill. Or they’re focused on cost-containment, such as cost per hire. Both of these metrics are valuable, but it’s not all the information we might need to make business decisions.

Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

By: Courtney Clark. When change sweeps through an organization, it often causes confusion, frustration, and fear. Even when dressed up with fancy words like “transformation” and “innovation,” employees know the end result is one thing: change. One reason corporate change is uncomfortable is that it requires disconnecting. All change is, in disregard, disconnecting.
