People Analytics

Focus Areas & Offering

Data and analytics are fundamentally transforming the way employees are being attracted, developed and managed in organisations. With competition for talent being higher than ever, attracting top candidates, developing and retaining key talent and building a high-performing and sustainable culture remains a key challenge for organisations across industries and geographies. People Analytics is increasingly becoming a core capability across organisations, providing actionable and reliable insights that vastly improve and transform talent-related decision making.

Pioneering People Analytics in Europe since 2008, with its origins in the former iNostix, our People Analytics Center of Expertise is truly unique. It is managed and driven by a passionate team of practitioners dedicated to bring analytics to the centre of decision-making in the area of talent management. We bring a unique combination of specialised & academic knowledge in the area of talent management (e.g., culture, leadership, learning, employee engagement and experience) and statistical and data science expertise. We have a reputation for designing, managing and delivering practical, business-centred and actionable insights and applying this experience within the context of large strategic business transformations. Effectively connecting organisational strategies to People Analytics and measurement practices in a way that helps companies to unlock strategically relevant insights and embed these into daily decision-making is what drives us.
