Human Resources Analytics: Challenges and Opportunities for Businesses.

Résumé

Today it is necessary to opt for a new approach, which will allow the HR function to make the right decisions. Studies agree that Human Resources (HR) analytics has the potential to become a permanent fixture in the habits of HR managers. HR analytics aims to help decision making thanks to powerful statistical and econometric tools that make it possible to cross-reference a very large number of data and variables. The analysis of the past would allow us to make the right decisions for the future. Analytics is above all a methodology, a step-by-step approach that is naturally quantitative, i.e., using data analysis techniques. The objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive classification of literature on human resources analytics, accompanied by a complete bibliography and a proposed research program for the future. To achieve this, a systematic literature review methodology was adopted, based on a database of multiple articles and books published in leading journals between 2013 and 2021. The results of this analysis capture the major developments in human resources analytics research. Significant findings as well as gaps in existing work are also highlighted. This study has the potential to stimulate future research directions.
