Most people in People Analytics are trained in HR, not statistics. Generating monthly reports and handing them to decision-makers who try to draw inferences from them doesn’t work. It is impossible for HRIS dashboards alone to answer the important questions, such as "which of our investments in talent are actually creating value, and how do we know?". Analytics dashboards do not predict business outcomes. Behavioral statisticians trained in programs like SPSS or R are the missing link; not training more HR generalists on the newest trendy SAAS software.
