In today’s working world, People Analytics is becoming increasingly important. However, many companies are still hesitant to take this step.

Why?

As the team at peopleIX, we are all too familiar with these challenges – and have made it our mission to overcome them. Here’s a look at the biggest obstacles and how we at peopleIX address them:

1. The Data Jungle

Many companies struggle with a true data mess. Information is scattered across numerous systems, often outdated or simply incorrect.

Our approach: peopleIX has developed a “Unified People Data Model” that connects data points across various systems. Our platform can integrate with over 60 HR systems such as Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Personio, BambooHR, and Greenhouse to consolidate all relevant information in one place.

2. Data Privacy – The Elephant in the Room

Whenever it comes to employee data, many become nervous. Rightfully so, as data privacy is no small matter.

Our approach: Security is our top priority at peopleIX. We use state-of-the-art security technologies and ensure full compliance with GDPR.

3. “Help, We’re Not Data Scientists!”

Many HR teams feel overwhelmed by complex analytics tools. This is understandable, as they often lack the expertise needed to gain deeper insights from the data and use it effectively.

Our approach: At peopleIX, we firmly believe that People Analytics should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their technical background. That’s why we’ve designed our platform from the ground up to be intuitive and user-friendly.

• User-Friendly Interface: The platform is intuitively designed, allowing HR professionals and managers to quickly conduct data analysis without any technical expertise.
• Pre-built Dashboards: We provide ready-to-use dashboards that display key HR metrics clearly.
• Easy-to-Understand Metrics: Complex analyses are simplified into clear, interpretable visuals.
• Automated Insights: Our platform offers recommendations, enabling HR to focus on strategy.
• Comprehensive Support: Our support team is always available to assist.

4. The Pain of Change

New tools often mean new processes, which can cause discomfort for some employees. Implementing People Analytics solutions like peopleIX represents a significant change for many companies, requiring adjustments in workflows, mindsets, and corporate culture.

Our Approach: At peopleIX, we understand that change takes time and must be carefully managed. That’s why we rely on a gradual rollout and intensive support to ensure a smooth transition.

5. “Is It Worth It?”

Investments in new technologies are often met with skepticism, especially when it comes to People Analytics. Many companies hesitate because they don’t immediately see the tangible benefits or fear the implementation might be too complex.

Our Approach: peopleIX enables companies to measure the entire employee lifecycle, helping them recruit top talent, increase engagement and performance, and retain employees longer. Clients typically see success within just a few months, whether through more efficient recruiting, higher retention, or improved productivity.
