process, with the passage of time and during 10 years a drastic change occurred
worldwide with the invention of social media, Facebook. Previously there was no data of
consumers except in few areas of private sector but that was not made public not
everyone had access to that data then with the invention of Facebook , twitter rich data
is available publicly. But later on due to this the owner of Facebook prosecuted and
made changes in default privacy settings of data in 2017, due to loop holes private data
was hacked and even sold, so with the invention of technology the data which is more
important than employees i.e. of consumers used in HR,on websites/ Facebook there
are millions of reports/reviews of consumers about products and also there are pages of
trip advisories with millions of consumer reviews and are publicly available with access
to all and there id data about markets, countries, shares, due to all this the field of data
sciences emerged and contributed by three or four areas with major of computer
science, economic predictive analysis, financial analysis and HR data usage with the
people analytics. The HR analytics did not grow so fast like other fields did, historically
people related with HR are deprived, the people related with finance will guide the boss
about increments and HR is more or less limited to attendance only and no one has
HRM to exhibit their role in strategic decision making with quantifying the outputs and
This is all about how could you make HR functions effective using electronic tools, HR
analytics is largely use of data and using it for improvement of performance of HRM.
Here more focus is on data and its analysis, analytics is combination of computer
sciences and statistical tools and techniques, for example SPSS is a computer program
used for data analysis and is amalgamation of computer science, statistics and field in
which analysis is being done. The emergence of analytics in HRM is from the day
computers are invented, initially computers were just used for record keeping like that of
diseases and attendance etc., but with the passage of time revolutionary advances
were made in the field of medical sciences, now even operations are made with the help
of machines and computer and in the field of social sciences and HR as well almost all
fields are revolutionized and also in performance evaluation of employees so trends can
be set with the help of data, in Pakistan it is still underutilized with so many reasons like
people are not used to it, people are reluctant to attend the workshops, people generally
resist changes therefore firstly either data is not entered at all or it is entered rich but is
not used at all. For example in one organization there are 500 employees and you have
data of leaves and arrival timings also the data of age is also available now predictive
analysis means you want to relate more than one variable and data of age and leaves is
analyzed by correlation regression, likely if you have data of leaves continuous and data
of gender is categorical then it will be T- test run. Trends are not set because of two
things one is either data is not available or the other thing is that the data usage is not
that easy. Now the articles, why HR is failed to set the big data challenge? They start
with defining big data in HR analytics, the data that explains more is called big data, is
any data that is too big to be stored, managed and analyzed. HR analytics is defined as
analysis of data related with human resource and to interpret and improving decision
