People Results is proud to sponsor HR.com’s State of People Analytics 2025–2026 Report, which explores how organizations can close the gap between collecting workforce data and turning it into meaningful action. Based on insights from more than 200 HR professionals across industries, the report highlights the growing importance of people analytics in shaping talent strategy, improving business outcomes, and strengthening organizational performance.
The findings reveal that while many organizations recognize the value of people analytics, far fewer are successfully building the systems, capabilities, and cross-functional integration needed to generate real impact. Key challenges include inconsistent data collection, limited integration between HR and business data, and a lack of internal analytics capability. The report also outlines the most effective practices used by people analytics leaders, including investing in better tools, improving data quality, and expanding beyond basic reporting into predictive and AI-driven insights.
