Overview

AI tools for talent analytics, employee engagement prediction, performance management, and workforce planning. HR shifted from administrative to strategic as AI enables real-time insights on retention risk, skills gaps, and team health. The trend is strongest in mid-market companies (200-2000 employees) that lack dedicated people analytics teams.

What's Driving This Growth?

  • Employee retention now top-3 CEO priority, creating budget for people analytics
  • AI making predictive HR insights accessible without dedicated data science teams
  • Remote and hybrid work making employee sentiment harder to gauge without data
  • Skills-based hiring replacing degree requirements, requiring new assessment tools

Market Signals
