Asitha Goonewardena, Chief Product Owner at PeoplesHR, breaks down what a people analytics model is built from, the benefits it brings, and why so few organizations get there. He covers the data quality, silo and ethics problems to solve first, then shows how dashboards and predictive analytics flag turnover and absenteeism early.

WATCH THE RECORDING AND LEARN HOW TO

1. Build a people analytics model from the data you have

2. Fix the data gaps and silos that stall adoption

3. Predict turnover and absenteeism before they hit

Key takeaways

Watch from 00:07

People analytics is more than HR data. A full model blends HCM, business, behavioral, biometric and even voice data, analyzed with BI tools and machine learning to surface insights a single data set would miss.

Watch from 10:18

Start with the objective, not the charts. Adoption stalls when there is no clear reason for the framework. Decide what the business needs to know, then line up your data sources behind it.

Watch from 11:18

Quality data, kept for long enough. Predictions only work with good data captured over a long period. Data gaps and silos across systems have to be ironed out or integrated first.

Watch from 08:14

Be open about what you collect. Regulations such as GDPR protect individual privacy. Transparent data capture and consent build the trust employees need to keep contributing data.

Watch from 18:28

From dashboards to early warnings. PeoplesHR offers an enterprise dashboard with 600+ KPIs, a wellness dashboard with 20 to 25, and predictive analytics for turnover, absenteeism and attendance.

Q&A highlights

Let employees record how happy they feel from time to time, and blend biometric data, such as wristbands worn during a shift, with HR data. Changes over a shift show how much it affects people, and the quality of their work.
RPA mimics repetitive human work, which removes errors, downtime and fraud from those transactions. People analytics lets you compare results before and after and prove the difference.
Predictive analytics gives each employee a likelihood of leaving based on their history. Combine that with performance and potential, and you can see who you really need to retain.
Set thresholds on business or operational KPIs and track them on the enterprise dashboard, so you can see whether the business is moving as planned.
Yes. Skill categories and proficiency levels are already in the system, so turnover warnings show whether at-risk employees are high-potential. Tools like Power BI let you dig further.
GPT models learn from the data you feed them, so they can surface patterns, suggest outcomes and gauge whether employee sentiment is positive or negative based on what they have learned.
