"People analytics" seems to have been a business neologism that did not really catch on. A number of publications seem to have used this phrase but in a way that seems interchangable with other related, and more established buzzwords such as Behavioral analytics and Cohort analysis. The entire article seems to be a coatrack for the ideas of management journalist Ben Weber, who published a book called "People Analytics" in 2013.

  • Comment Okay, this is a twinkle bug, there are 2 of the same reports. I can't fix it, can someone who is more experienced help out? ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 00:07, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I don't see how it being a neologism is an issue. Whether or not it has caught on seems to be a matter of time scale and proximity to roles / groups that are called as such. Possibly this could be merged into the Workforce Analytics section of Workforce Planning. That being said, well-known organization actively call their team's People Analytics (e.g. Google, Walmart, Facebook, Biogen, etc.) There have been 12 conferences in the last 12 months with the title "People Analytics".
