Planning Ops
Shaping Strategic Workforce Planning
Using Talent
Ian Bailie will discuss the journey Cisco is
on to move towards a more predictive and
data-driven mindset in talent acquisition,
and how they have scaled this approach
globally. Cisco Systems created its talent
trends division to ensure that recruiters
and the business have access to critical
market intelligence data at their fingertips.
The team has built an approach that is
proving to be extremely valuable for both
internal and external hiring as well as
essential to conversations on workforce
planning. Internal teams can access data
to understand the skillset of their existing
workforce and where to target hiring or
understand skill gaps, while the external
recruitment team can use it to drive more
strategic discussions with their hiring
managers, provide quick snapshots of
available talent pools, and to influence
hiring projects based on location.

Dr. Max Blumberg
(Research Fellow, University of London)
People Analytics and the Bottom Line: Where are We?
Although people analytics has matured rapidly in the past five years, we
still do not seem to be getting closer to “predicting” the bottom line
In an era of financial turbulence and talent shortages, there are growing
calls to expand the “bottom line” beyond earnings and profitability to
include corporate social responsibility and employee well-being
The predictive accuracy of workforce planning and people analytics is
still – and perhaps always likely to be – limited by our understanding and
ability to predict human behaviour. The greatest strides in predicting human
capital impact on the bottom line are therefore likely to come from the
behavioral sciences rather than the analytical and statistical sciences
The perception that automation and AI can improve the bottom line
by reducing headcounts is partly because many workforce and people
analysts have not demonstrated the bottom-line value added by people
as opposed to machines. As a profession, we must therefore consciously
encourage our peers to move away from measuring the impact of people
programmes and activities on indirect “middle management” factors like
engagement and retention, and focus more effort on demonstrating
bottom-line impact via deeper collaboration with senior financial and
operational stakeholders.

Is HR ready for Fast Moving
“Real Time” Data?
HR is staring to experience a shift away
from slow moving data with a number of
high profile companies abandoning the
traditional approach of Annual Employee
surveys, End of year performance reviews,
infrequent talent assessments towards a
real desire for real time data as a means
to accurately measure talent, engagement,
leadership, alignment and the culture of the
company and to empower leaders to take
faster decisions. The transformation for
HR and HR Analytics will be huge and how
many of us are ready for:
Organisations removing annual or
bi-annual formal appraisal/performance
reviews in favour of regular informal
feedback from line manager
Removal of the traditional annual
surveys as a means to measure culture,
engagement, empowerment, reward and

A view on HR Analytics from a HRD

at Aviva
The journey we are on
Our proof points so far
What we have learnt
leadership are being challenges as there is
greater need for on the spot engagement
level tracking and feedback.
Social media/external data sets updated
more often than internal HR data. How can
we harness this “free source” data to our
advantage?
Technological advancements enable
tracking of Employee movements/
Productivity/wellness/Sat Nav tracking
for salesforces. How should HR use this
information, are there any moral issues we
have to address in terms of its potential
usage and do they have the data capacity
and technology to deliver real time insight?
Does HR have the technology, big data
capacity and skilled analysts required to
support this leap?

What is the role of BI vs Data Science and
how do we stop them destroying each
other?
For many multinationals the battlelines
have been drawn and many organisations
are starting to see the clash between
traditional BI versus the new upstart of HR
Analytics & SWP. The importance of BI
(Business Intelligence) and Data Science
working in collaboration to deliver the full
spectrum of HR Analytics. With the trend
towards the ‘sexier’ predictive analysis
and SWP, many BI professionals have felt
threatened that the role of the traditional
dashboard, management metrics and
KPI’s are diminishing. The reality is that
organisations that are data driven and
uncovering real insight will still require a
strong BI presence as well as the new
breed of Data Scientists but the existing
delivery models for both may need to
become better aligned to really add the
most value.
Are HR Analytics teams working on both
BI and Data Science? How do we develop
strategy and technology to effectively
support both groups?
