PeoplesHR People Analytics

PeoplesHR People Analytics is a workforce intelligence layer for HR leaders and managers who need current workforce measures and a structured way to investigate attrition risk. It suits organizations that already operate PeoplesHR HR and payroll modules; buyers wanting a standalone analytics product or fixed, public pricing should look elsewhere.

Overview

The service combines self-service analysis of headcount, demographics and work structure with separate supervisory and administrative views. Teams can build dashboards and explore data interactively instead of relying only on preset reports. Metrics include headcount, absenteeism, attrition rates, performance and engagement trends, and data refreshes in real time.

Its most consequential capability is turnover analysis. A data-readiness assessment, historical-pattern analysis, automated insights and real-time risk processing lead to high-risk group identification by business unit and demographics, plus individual probability reports. That gives HR a way to prioritize interventions, although the value depends on reliable workforce data and a defined process for following up with at-risk employees.

Key features

Dashboards and executive visibility

Customizable dashboards let users move from broad workforce measures into the underlying segments. Supervisors and administrators receive analytics suited to their responsibilities, while an enterprise dashboard combines HR modules and presents current metrics and trends for executives. This structure is useful for organizations that need one view across functions without removing role-specific analysis.

Risk and planning analysis

Group-level risk analysis helps reveal concentration by business unit or demographic, and individual probability reports support targeted action rather than blanket retention programs. Attrition analytics, workforce planning and diversity analytics are all supported. These tools are better suited to evidence-led HR teams than to companies looking only for a static headcount report.

Integration, security and operations

People Analytics integrates with Core HR and payroll. The wider PeoplesHR platform also offers ERP and accounting connectors, APIs and a third-party app marketplace, which can reduce duplicate data work for existing customers. Security controls include TLS 1.2 in transit, AES 256 at rest, role-based access, multi-factor authentication and single sign-on. PeoplesHR cites ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 27017:2015, ISO 9001:2015, SOC reports, SOC 2 Type II and CSA STAR Level 1 materials. Its SaaS model includes 24/7 monitoring, disaster recovery and configurable access controls.

Support combines customer-success management, technical assistance, training resources, documentation and regular updates. PeoplesHR reports more than 1,700 companies across 40-plus countries and more than 1.5 million users, a scale that will matter to buyers assessing supplier maturity.

Pricing

PeoplesHR uses paid, on-request pricing for its core plans, with no free plan. Manage covers HR records, organizational structure, employee lifecycle management, and standard dashboards and alerts. It is the entry point for organizations needing foundational HR administration, but it does not promise the deeper customization of higher tiers.

Grow adds deeper hierarchies and custom fields, richer supervisor dashboards, and additional lifecycle types and validations. Choose it when managers need more detailed structures and workflow controls than Manage provides. Transform configures structures, fields and lifecycle types, and adds custom alerts, enterprise add-ons and advanced configuration; it is the appropriate tier for complex, organization-specific deployments.

Insights costs $60 per seat per month and includes 10 million tokens per seat each month. Capabilities depend on the PeoplesHR modules enabled, so the per-seat price is not the whole budgeting picture. It is the clearest fit for teams ready to operationalize analytics inside the PeoplesHR environment; prospective customers should request a quote for the other plans and confirm module requirements.

Platforms

PeoplesHR People Analytics is offered on Android, iOS, web and through an API. That combination supports browser-based analysis, mobile access and integration into other systems.

Who it's for

It is aimed at HR teams and leaders making evidence-based decisions, particularly organizations already using PeoplesHR Core HR and payroll. Enterprises that need executive dashboards, live workforce measures and structured turnover-risk intervention will get the most from it. Smaller teams seeking a free tier, a short trial or independently priced analytics should consider alternatives instead.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Real-time refresh keeps decisions tied to current workforce conditions.
• Pros: Turnover workflows connect data-readiness checks, pattern analysis, group risk and individual probabilities.
• Pros: Role-specific analytics and an enterprise dashboard serve managers and executives from the same platform.
• Pros: Strong encryption, access controls, authentication options and published security certifications support enterprise governance.
• Cons: Core-plan prices require a quote, making comparisons and budgeting slower.
• Cons: Insights is charged per seat and its capabilities depend on enabled PeoplesHR modules.
• Cons: Predictive results require suitable data and an operational process for intervention; dashboards alone will not deliver retention outcomes.

Look elsewhere if predictable pricing, a free entry tier or a standalone analytics stack is more important than that integrated, enterprise-oriented approach.
