PeoplesHR People Analytics

PeoplesHR People Analytics helps leaders and HR teams examine workforce trends, including turnover risks and performance insights. Its self-analytics cover headcount, demographics, and work structure, alongside supervisory and administrative analytics. Users can build customizable dashboards and explore information interactively. Turnover prediction combines data-readiness assessment, historical pattern analysis, automated insights, and real-time risk processing. Risk tools identify high-risk groups by business unit and demographics, and provide individual probability reports to help target interventions. An enterprise dashboard combines HR modules and tracks metrics such as headcount, absenteeism, attrition, performance, and engagement. The analytics integrate with Core HR and payroll systems; the wider platform also offers ERP and accounting connectors, APIs, and a third-party app marketplace. PeoplesHR describes a SaaS cloud model with TLS 1.2 encryption in transit, AES 256 encryption at rest, role-based access controls, MFA, and SSO. Pricing is on request, and there is no free plan. The listed Insights plan is $60 a month per seat and includes 10 million tokens per seat per month; capabilities depend on enabled PeoplesHR modules.

PeoplesHR People Analytics combines workforce metrics with turnover-risk analysis and configurable dashboards. Organisations will need to request pricing and confirm module availability for the Insights capabilities they need.

It suits HR teams and leaders seeking workforce dashboards, attrition analysis, and turnover-risk insights. Organisations should check which capabilities are enabled in their PeoplesHR modules.

PeoplesHR People Analytics is workforce analytics software for HR teams and business leaders who need to understand workforce patterns and assess turnover risk. It is best suited to organisations using PeoplesHR’s HR and payroll systems; its risk analysis and configurable dashboards are compelling, but module-dependent Insights pricing makes cost and capability planning less straightforward.

Overview

The platform covers headcount, demographics, work structure, absenteeism, attrition, performance and engagement. Self-analytics sit alongside supervisory and administrative views, while customizable dashboards let users explore measures rather than rely on fixed reports. Real-time refresh is useful when decisions depend on current workforce conditions, though the breadth of reporting will matter most to teams with a regular process for turning metrics into action.

Turnover prediction is more than a view of historical departures: it assesses data readiness, analyzes past patterns and processes current risk. HR teams can identify higher-risk groups by business unit and demographics, then use individual probability reports to target interventions. That can focus follow-up, but prediction has limited practical value without suitable workforce data and a plan for responding to flagged risks.

Key features

Dashboards and workforce measures

Interactive dashboards can be configured around an organisation’s needs, and the enterprise dashboard brings together HR-module metrics and trends for executive visibility. This makes the product relevant to organisations seeking a shared view across HR functions. Its close connection to PeoplesHR modules, however, is a consideration for teams looking for analytics that stand apart from their existing HR systems.

Turnover-risk analysis

Data-readiness assessment, historical-pattern analysis and real-time risk processing form a useful workflow for teams that want to move from monitoring attrition to prioritising interventions. Group-level analysis helps show where risk is concentrated, while individual probabilities can guide targeted attention. These outputs support decisions; they do not replace an organisation’s judgment about how to act.

Integrations, security and support

Analytics integrates with PeoplesHR Core HR and payroll. The broader platform also offers APIs, ERP and accounting connectors, and a third-party app marketplace. Security measures include TLS 1.2 encryption in transit, AES 256 encryption at rest, role-based access controls, MFA and SSO. PeoplesHR lists ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 27017:2015, ISO 9001:2015, SOC reports, a SOC 2 Type II report and CSA STAR Level 1 materials. Its SaaS service includes 24/7 monitoring and disaster recovery, while support includes customer success management, technical help, training, documentation and platform updates.

Pricing

PeoplesHR uses paid pricing, with no free plan. The Manage, Grow and Transform plans have custom pricing; the Insights plan is $60 a month, billed per seat / month, and includes 10 million tokens per seat, per month. Insights capabilities depend on enabled PeoplesHR modules, so buyers should confirm that their chosen modules cover the analytics they need before budgeting per seat.

• Manage: HR records, organisational structure, employee lifecycle management, standard dashboards and alerts. It covers core administration and basic monitoring, but gives up the deeper hierarchy and customization options in higher tiers.
• Grow: Deeper hierarchies and custom fields, richer supervisor dashboards, and additional lifecycle types and validations. It suits organisations needing more tailored supervisory views and lifecycle management than Manage provides.
• Transform: Configured structures, fields and lifecycle types, custom alerts, enterprise add-ons and advanced configuration. It is aimed at organisations needing substantial tailoring; the feature set comes with custom pricing.
• Insights: 10 million tokens per seat, per month at $60 a month, billed per seat / month. This is the analytics-focused option, but enabled PeoplesHR modules determine which capabilities apply.

Platforms

PeoplesHR People Analytics supports Android, iOS, web and API access, giving organisations mobile and browser access alongside integration options.

Who it's for

This is a strong fit for HR teams and leaders who need current workforce measures and a structured way to identify turnover risks, particularly within organisations already using PeoplesHR Core HR and payroll. PeoplesHR reports more than 1,700 companies across 40-plus countries and more than 1.5 million users. Teams seeking a standalone analytics product, or those that need fixed, predictable total costs before confirming module requirements, should compare alternatives.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Turnover analysis combines data-readiness checks, historical patterns and current risk processing, giving HR more than retrospective attrition reporting.
• Pro: Group-level risk views and individual probability reports can help teams prioritize intervention efforts.
• Pro: Custom dashboards, multiple analytics views and an enterprise dashboard support different roles and executive oversight.
• Con: Insights costs $60 per seat / month and its capabilities depend on enabled PeoplesHR modules, complicating cost and scope decisions.

Verdict

Choose PeoplesHR People Analytics if your HR team needs current workforce reporting and turnover-risk analysis within a PeoplesHR HR and payroll environment. Its combination of configurable dashboards, group risk identification and individual probability reports is the main reason to choose it. Look elsewhere if you need independent analytics or a clear total price before confirming module availability and per-seat costs.
