HR Analytics as a Strategic Lever: Bridging Global Predictive Models and Indian Workforce Realities

HR Analytics has emerged as a global driver of evidence-based HRM. Tilburg and Rotterdam research highlights predictive analytics as a strategic enabler, while Indian organizations often restrict analytics to descriptive reporting. The paper compares global success with Indian limitations, identifies gaps and proposes a hybrid framework. Primary data from Indian employees and secondary insights from European research reveal that predictive analytics enhances workforce planning, while Indian employees value fairness and transparency. Bridging these approaches can yield sustainable competitive advantage.
