Exploring the Other Side of the Coin

Abstract

Human resource analytics (HRA) has the power to revolutionize how businesses find, develop, oversee, and manage their employees. It is imperative to pay attention to the idiosyncrasies and negative implications that HRA creates leading to commotion and failing to generate value for the organizations. The chapter discusses the challenges faced in the implementation of HRA in diverse businesses. For this analysis, the authors conducted an extant literature review and later interviewed HR professionals to derive factors contributing to the dark side of HRA. The interviews were transcribed, and five themes were derived representing the experiences of the respondents with HRA implementation. This chapter gives a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced in the implementation of HR Analytics and suggests ways to overcome these challenges as well.
