Today the company uses analytics to hold itself accountable for the things that matter most to its employees, knowing that happier and healthier employees create better-satisfied clients. The expectations of companies to \u201cwant more\u201d from their talent is driving the companies to reinvent a whole range of people practices and leading to talent analytics. It is focused on\u00a0applying\u00a0statistics and technology to large sets of people in order to make better organizational and operational decisions in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartadminmanager.com\/employeemanagement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">employee management<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The ability to leverage data, particularly as it relates to \u2018predicting the future\u2019 is an exciting avenue that probably has more questions than answers. And the related questions are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How do we <em>improve our new hire engagement and retention<\/em>?<\/li>\n<li>How do we <em>shorten time to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartadminmanager.com\/project-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">project management?<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<li>How do we <em>provide knowledge and skills more effectively<\/em>?<\/li>\n<li>How do we <em>improve quality of hire<\/em>?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let\u2019s explore some of the possible answers to these questions through a combination of data science and organizational behaviour studies, predictive people analytics to positively influence strategic onboarding, beyond just predicting \u201cattrition\u201d.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Predicting the future performance of employees<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>There are two ways in which predictive analytics can be used to improve employee performance and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartadmin.co.in\/timesheet.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">timesheet management.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>first<\/strong> is to hire employees who are top performers. Currently most of the companies would use \u201c<em>experience<\/em>\u201d and \u201c<em>references\u201d <\/em>as way to predict whether a candidate would be good fit for the organization and to some extent, these factors would be good predictors. But that which is obvious isn\u2019t always true. As per one of the research, references only explain 7 percent of an employee\u2019s performance and experience explains even less at 3 percent.<\/p>\n<p>The top three predictors which are correlated to the future performance of employees are cognitive tests (26%), structured interviews (26%) and work samples (29%). Each of these tests provides a very insightful perspective to how someone thinks and how someone solves problem. The ones who are able to adapt and solve problems are better equipped than the ones who are involved in repetition and consistency.<\/p>\n<p>After knowing the factors, the next question is \u201chow\u201d we go about assessing the candidates.<\/p>\n<p>For \u201cCognitive tests\u201d based on the organizational DNA, one can design and select the right kind of tests from a list of various Cognitive tests available in the market and search online.<\/p>\n<p>For structured interview, it is asking the same questions to all the candidates in the same order. \u00a0It also means only having one interviewer in the room at a time. And it means assessing each candidate question by question as opposed to assessing all the questions for each candidate.<\/p>\n<p>For work samples, the candidates are asked to explain specifically how they would address a work situation which is very similar to the role description for that position. There are plenty of work sample questions for every type of job.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>second<\/strong> way is hiring for culture add attributes. In the recent past, most of the companies have focussed on hiring \u201cculture fit\u201d candidates. Culture fit is when an employee or candidate is aligned with the organization\u2019s core values and company culture. Interviewers would conduct interviews against the core values of the organization which in most cases would be teamwork, honesty, reliability, integrity, ethics, quality etc while attempting to get right set of people. Focussing solely on culture has led the organizations into a homogeneity culture thus keeping the diversity factor in the backseat.<\/p>\n<p>SMART ADMIN is a cloud-based software for generating GST Compliant Invoice, Payroll management, Timesheet and Project Tracking \u2013 visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartadmin.co.in\/\" target=\u201d_blank\u201d rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>SMART ADMIN<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for FREE Trial and Registration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Predicting Business Success Making a prediction is an opportunity to look at the undesirable or unintended consequences of a trend before it becomes part of the new normal. \u00a0The game of forecasting isn\u2019t just about being right.
