"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.

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. per a LinkedIn search) There have been 12 conferences in the last 12 months with the title "People Analytics". To be clear, People Analytics (by all of the before mentioned organizations and many others) is referring only to employees / workforce members of the organization. Both Cohort & Behavioral analytics focus on customers / end users. Agreed that the terminology is confusing from a distance; however, it is clearly differentiated in various publications.
