What can we help you with? 

At PwC we support clients from strategy to execution. We help you define, implement, and continuously evolve business-driven people data and analytics strategies and solutions, built on a strong data foundation, harnessing AI to drive smarter decisions. Our aim is to enable you to create value from your people data and use them to make better, fact-based business decisions, improve employee performance and engagement, and ultimately, achieve your strategic goals.

We pick you up where you already started and make the next step on your People Analytics journey together – tailored to your unique set of circumstances. We work closely with our clients to understand business needs and employee pain points to provide customised solutions, which are as simple as possible, but as refined as needed.

Too often, organisations do not make the connection between their recruiting pipeline, succession plans, business strategy changes, and other business factors impacting on talent. Each is treated separately, leading to an ad hoc approach to managing talent and reactive fire-fighting by HR functions. Strategic workforce planning, which encompasses capability and capacity planning, enables organisations to be proactive about talent management and deployment.

Organisations face fierce competition in the acquisition of talent. A deep understanding of future talent and recruitment needs rather than a reactive approach to immediate recruitment requirements is key to successful recruitment and talent acquisition.

We work with clients to support all aspects of their talent management strategies including recruitment function transformation and data analytics to better understand and predict recruitment/talent acquisition needs.

Effective performance management is crucial to ensuring that individual performance is oriented at the overall organisational goals. We believe that robust performance management can offer benefits that are critically appealing to millennial workers and other stakeholders. These include career paths that offer a wide range of opportunities, differentiated reward and recognition outcomes, and a culture of high performance and real-time feedback.

Performance management is an organisation specific challenge. Some will already have robust processes in place, others may need to do some tweaking, while others may need a more radical overhaul. We work with clients across all stages of their performance management journey.

The process of identifying specific individuals who will backfill roles in the event of a departure is another critical step in proactively managing the workforce. Organisations that dedicate time and effort to succession planning are able to identify a strong pool of talent ready to fill short and medium-term needs. In addition, organisations are increasingly using predictive analytics to plan for roles that do not even exist today.

We work with clients to identify key talent and build succession plans at the top levels of the organisation, as well as down through the ranks in critical roles, and work with them to link this process into existing talent processes to ensure an integrated talent strategy.

Workforces are changing and becoming increasingly sophisticated in their learning requirements. Organisations require responsive, on- and off-the-job, distinctive and mobile learning solutions.

We have a dedicated team of L&D experts who have wealth of experience both in developing the approach and content for learning curricula and in the selections of technology platforms and providers. We help clients think through innovative new solutions – such as how to leverage cost-effective solutions such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) – and apply them to the rapidly evolving workforce. We assist clients in developing the required workforce skills and behaviours to deliver business objectives by identifying and building targeted learning and development interventions.

We design and implement People Analytics strategies and functions that deliver on your ambition.

We develop, optimise, and implement tailored People Analytics use cases.
