With technological advances in the field of AI and a growing amount of behavioral data that employees produce in their day-to-day routine, so-called people analytics tools have become a topic of public debate. These tools capture and analyze the behavioral data of employees, combine it with business data and offer employees and their manager\u2019s insights into work routines, performance and potential. Based on this, people analytics promises to objectify and optimize employee-related decisions. Managers, therefore, place high expectations on these tools, especially with a growing number of employees who work from home and move outside their spatial control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI can indeed predict probabilities of human actions based on historical data. However, the accuracy of these predictions depends heavily on the data quality and is by no means error-free. As the behavior of humans in the workplace is complex and cannot always be quantified and measured, the current generation of AI can support people management in a limited area only and will certainly not make human managers obsolete.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
