What does your business know about your people?

HR Intelligence

· Skills

· Expertise

· Qualities

· Competencies

Ngoni Munetsi, who heads up the Accsys People Management Partners Division shared his thoughts on this with me.

It seems to me that our systems have become data-led instead of information-led.

He asks “How are we leveraging the data we have about our people to create competitive advantage?”

“ Strategic information management is a basic fundamental of Strategic HR yet we continue to function as Data capturers…not as HR Strategists.

We capture biographical data about employees, but then what?

HR Intelligence is all about making forward looking decisions through capitalising your HR Information depositories.

How can you make what you know about your people count and contribute to organisational goals? How can it create Learning Organisations? These are the key fundamental questions we should be asking ourselves.”

Yes, all the data enables us to run EE reports WSPs. However, he thinks information and analytics on current employees’ attitudes, behaviours, personality, career development, and job performance is what differentiates your organisation from the next one.

You do not only need information about how many people you have, where and when you have them, but you also need to know what new talent you have to hire, who is worth retaining and whom you need to let go.

This can only be achieved through HR Intelligence; the application of BI Tools in People Management. We can call it People Analytics.

People Analytics form the basis of your decisions about succession planning, leadership development and they reveal whether the skills within your organisation have the flexibility competencies that enable change.

Ngoni believes that HR professionals should embrace HR technology. They should become people analysts. Some offices are still paper driven; processes are transactional and not strategic, plain data is stored with no utility.

“We need to move forward and become strategists through the application of people analytics.”

3 things to do BEFORE you resign

or sign a new contract… 1. Confirm your notice period · A lot of companies allow 30 days from date of resignation, but many ask for a calendar month 2.

When did having it all become doing it all?

Or being all things to all people… Ruth Bader Ginsburg , U.S. Supreme Court Justice: “You can’t have it all at once. Over my lifespan, I think I have had it all. But in different periods of time, things were rough.” As a mother, a wife and a business woman, I have thought a great deal about this. My article about #OutsideWork generated some personal mail that asked me, inter alia: “How?” “What do I need to do to satisfy everybody that needs my full attention when I am with them?” My children, my boss, my partner – they all need me to be the best that I can be, and I am barely keeping my head above water.” “I don’t want to be selfish, but there is no time for me.” And a poignant comment: “This article made me remember that there must be time for “self” but I am not finding it. I am mentally and emotionally exhausted and nobody seems to care” There is no one answer. It’s different for those in a committed partnership, compared to sing...
