The Strategic Value of HR Analytics

Alignment issues in organizations drive much of the organizational changes seen today. For example, if an organization wants to have its employees working in new and innovative ways, organizational leaders might recognize that the current organizational structure is not the most practical one for employees to work to their full capability or that the structure is bureaucratic. Or the organization may want to be aggressive, but its employees and its culture are averse to risk. These are examples of alignment challenges. For this week’s Discussion, consider an organization you are familiar with and answer the questions below. 

Post a cohesive and scholarly response, based on and supported by your required readings, media, and research this week, that addresses the following:

• Identify three metrics HR professionals can use to support organizational goals.
• Explain how your chosen metrics can offer strategic value to the organization.
• Illustrate how HR professionals can leverage human capital analytics to support organizational change.
