What is Workforce Analytics?
The application of data analysis to workforce data, focusing on labor supply, demand, capacity, cost, and productivity to optimize how an organization deploys its people against business goals.
Why it matters in hiring
Workforce Analytics comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
