New Advisory Board to Guide HR Professionals in Leveraging People Analytics

The HR Research Institute has announced the creation of a new Advisory Board dedicated to helping HR professionals navigate the complexities of people analytics. This initiative comes at a time when HR leaders are increasingly required to align workforce strategy with business outcomes, amidst challenges such as skills shortages and the rapid advancement of technology, including artificial intelligence.

Comprised of industry veterans and data experts, the State of People Analytics Advisory Board will guide the development of a major research study and a virtual event scheduled for November 12, 2025. The board's role is to provide HR professionals with practical frameworks and insights on integrating data and analytics into HR strategies and operations effectively.

Debbie McGrath, CEO of HR.com, emphasized the importance of analytics in today's business environment, noting the difficulties many HR professionals face in starting, measuring, and scaling their analytics efforts. The advisory board, featuring thought leaders from companies like Verizon, Apple, and Wells Fargo, aims to bridge this gap by offering actionable advice and thought leadership.

The HR Research Institute's annual reports, including the upcoming 'State of People Analytics 2025', are designed to offer HR professionals the insights needed to make informed decisions. These resources, along with the advisory board's guidance, are expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of HR analytics.
