Abstract

The book chapter explores how HR analytics may improve talent management in the African public sector. Through case studies and theoretical insights, the chapter emphasises the adoption and influence of HR analytics on many aspects of talent management, such as recruiting performance evaluation, employee retention, and leadership development. The chapter explores the advantages and obstacles of adopting HR analytics, including issues like data protection, the need for HR professionals to enhance their analytical skills, and opposition to data-driven methods due to cultural factors. The implications for public sector HR management are significant, indicating a trend towards evidence-based HR approaches that closely align with organisational goals and strategic imperatives. The chapter ends by highlighting the importance of further research in HR analytics to gain a more profound insight into its lasting effects, addressing obstacles to its adoption and ethical concerns, and investigating regional differences in the African setting.
