Descriptive HR to Prescriptive HR

Descriptive HR to Prescriptive HR

Author: Vantage Circle October 23, 2024 Duration: 25:26

HR has always been a vital part of any organization, but the role it plays is evolving lately. We are witnessing a significant shift from descriptive HR, which focuses on analyzing historical data to understand past performance, to prescriptive HR, which leverages advanced analytics to deliver actionable insights and inform future decisions. 

Now, this transition is more than just a trend. It's a strategic move that can revolutionize how organizations manage their people, forecast challenges, and create proactive solutions. 

To explore this transformation in depth, we're thrilled to have Manisha Kelkar with us for this episode. As the Head of Corporate HR at Nuvoco Vistas Corp. Ltd., Manisha brings extensive experience in driving HR strategy.
