HR is rushing to the big data world as fast, or almost as fast,
as other disciplines, including business, intelligence, finance,
accounting, and customer relationship management. Among the greater

that in the past might not have been seen as useful or appropriate

amounts of data is gained, unprecedented insights into client
behavior and employee performance are seen. However, there will
also be instances in some organizations where silos among functions
will prevent data integration.
What data from the functional areas mentioned offer value to HR
decision making?
What can HR professionals do to engage peer members of other
managerial disciplines to attain access to needed information?
