HR-raportointi (HR reporting) covers the systematic collection, consolidation, analysis, and presentation of human resources information to support decision making and accountability in organizations. It sits within the broader field of people analytics and combines operational reports with strategic insights.

Data sources typically include HR information systems (HRIS), payroll, time and attendance, recruitment platforms, performance management, learning management, benefits, and employee surveys. Common metrics include headcount, turnover, time-to-fill, cost-per-hire, absenteeism, training completion, performance distributions, and diversity indicators. Reporting may also track compliance with labor laws and equal opportunity requirements.

HR reporting serves multiple audiences, from HR executives and line managers to the board. Outputs range from dashboards and standard reports to ad hoc analyses and narrative briefings. Reports can be periodic (monthly, quarterly) or real-time, and they should be tailored to the audience and decision context.

Good HR reporting requires data governance, data quality control, and privacy protections. Practices include data cleansing, standard definitions, role-based access, anonymization when sharing external or aggregated data, and alignment with organizational policies and applicable regulations such as GDPR.

Common challenges include data silos, inconsistent data definitions, and limited analytics capabilities. Best practices emphasize clear KPI definitions, automation of data pipelines, storytelling that links metrics to business outcomes, and continuous iteration to improve accuracy and relevance.
