Episode Details

The workforce analytics market just hit over eight billion dollars — and it's growing fast. But for HR leaders, the real question in 2026 isn't whether to invest in people analytics. It's whether you need a dedicated specialist platform, or whether the analytics built into your HRIS are actually good enough. In this episode, we break down the four major players reshaping how companies understand their workforce: Visier, Workday People Analytics, OneModel, and OrgVue. Each one serves a different kind of buyer, and picking the wrong one is an expensive mistake. We look at what's changed in 2026 — including Visier's new agentic AI that doesn't just show you what happened, but tells you what to do next. And we walk through a simple decision framework so you can figure out which platform actually fits your organization's needs, budget, and ambitions. If you're an HR leader evaluating analytics investments this year, this episode will save you a lot of time.
