This data availability, and the general trend toward data- and analytics-based decisions in organizations, set the tone for HR use of advanced analytics and AI. As I suggested, the study reveals that just over half of HR organizations in the global survey say they can perform advanced (predictive and prescriptive) analytics, and only 6% of HR respondents say they are “novices” at analytics. Secondly, companies are increasingly using AI capabilities within enterprise software. Many HR vendors, including Oracle, now offer some AI capabilities for “smart candidate lists” or employee attrition modeling. It makes a lot of sense that we would apply data, analytics, and machine learning algorithms to manage people better.
