This is INCREDIBLE. This would be a field day for a Linguist. But I have to say. the term "People Science" which also captures all the other terms, is a literal English translation of the Greek originated term "Anthropology" . I think companies are evolving and migrating (puns intended) into the anthropological space without realizing it. ?https://www.etymonline.com/word/anthropology#etymonline_v_13523
I like that the community is rallying around "people analytics", as it concisely articulates a focus on analytics while differentiating from traditional HR. That said, "people" lacks internal specificity and runs the risk of being confused with marketing analytics to the uninitiated. Another term I like is "employee experience" (EX), which flips customer experience internally and tries to capture the entire employee lifecycle. I think this is a great up-brand for HR as a whole where people analytics is a sub-discipline. I think of the difference as: EX: based on the last pulse survey let's put minibars on each floor to increase employee engagement. PA: let's find out if minibars actually improve engagement and productivity in our company by running an A/B test.
Peter Morgan This is the post that I was talking to you about!
Learning Analytics (specific to L&D)
Organizational Analytics
Predictive Execution Analytics - glad it hasn't come up before as it provides an opportunity to brand it differently - predicting business outcomes of teams 12 months out.
Workforce Insights Consultant is also used in some of the organization..
Management Insights, LLeader Insights, Dashboard Central (LOL)
Is it important what job title you have? Isn't it more a matter of whatever gets the job done well?
