Ensure Optimal Staff Placement with HR Analytics

HR managers are under increasing pressure to deliver measurable results. With MINDONE, we have developed a platform that specialises in the analysis of potential and skills and delivers fast, reliably substantiated results that help companies to optimise their allocation of personnel.

Our Tools for Your Business Success

MINDONE is a mobile web app that makes it possible to conduct Potential analyses, Retention programmes, internal assessment processes such as 360° feedback as well as Development and Assessment Centers digitally and independent of location. These tools can be flexibly adapted to the needs of your company, so that results meet the actual business needs of the organisation.  But that’s not all: with the Automated Tracking System you can digitise the entire application process. Used in conjunction with MINDONE, you can obtain a valid assessment of your applicants and maintain an overview of the application process at all times, handled entirely on the platform.

The Difference Between High and Low Performers

For over twenty-five years, we have committed ourselves to the goal of analysing top performers at companies and understanding their patterns of action and success. Our studies show that conventional personality tests cannot reliably assess a person’s suitability for a position or career. In many cases, personality analyses fail to show statistically significant differences between top and low performers. No wonder: differences are to be found in their motivational structure and interests, in other words, dimensions that are not covered in personality tests. That’s why we rely on multidimensional profiles in our potential analyses, which combine factors such as motivation, professional interests, thought style and cognitive abilities to form a comprehensive, scientifically sound model. Comparisons with empirical success profiles allow us to reliably select high performers with MINDONE.

What is HR Analytics?

HR Analytics – also known as People Analytics or Workforce Analytics – refers to the systematic analysis of personnel data to support strategic HR decisions. Using modern technologies and data-driven evaluations, it uncovers connections between HR measures and organisational success.

The goal is to enable well-informed decisions that help foster talent, reduce staff turnover, and enhance team performance.

What is the difference between HR Analytics and People Analytics?

Although often used interchangeably, there are subtle distinctions:

• HR Analytics is typically used to analyse traditional HR metrics such as turnover, absence rates, or recruitment costs. At ITO, the term also refers to the targeted use of diagnostic data to support strategic personnel decisions.
• People Analytics broadens the focus beyond classic HR indicators by also incorporating factors such as team dynamics, leadership culture, employee engagement, or development potential – aspects crucial to holistic, future-oriented HR strategies.

Both approaches use data to identify patterns, derive trends, and enable evidence-based decisions in talent management.
