Human Resource Analytics and Evidence-Based Workforce Planning
Keywords:
human, resource, analytics, evidence-based, workforce, planning, management, integrative reviewAbstract
This integrative evidence review examines human resource analytics and evidence-based workforce planning by asking how human resource analytics is connected to evidence-based workforce planning and which conditions determine whether that connection becomes operationally meaningful. The article synthesizes peer-reviewed and institutional literature relevant to people, leadership, work-design, and organizational change systems, emphasizing mechanisms, boundary conditions, and measurement choices rather than a universal average effect. Evidence associated with Edmondson et al., 2014 and Marler et al., 2017 is read with the wider source set to distinguish formal adoption from effective use, short-term response from durable capability, and observed association from causal interpretation. The synthesis identifies complementary roles for work design and autonomy, workforce diversity, and governance or coordination routines. No survey, interview, experiment, proprietary dataset, or regression estimate is represented as having been collected for this conceptual review.
