In a world where HR leaders are expected to lead strategic transformation, not just transactional processes, data is your most valuable ally. The ability to spot patterns, understand the people behind the numbers and anticipate organisational needs has become an essential capability for the modern HR leader. But to do that effectively, you need HR analytics designed by people who actually understand HR. 

That’s exactly what Ciphr analytics delivers. 

Ciphr analytics, part of our HR software, isn’t just another analytics reporting tool. It’s a powerful platform designed specifically for HR teams. It provides the insights, flexibility and focus you need to lead with impact and confidence. 

Here are nine ways Ciphr HR analytics empowers HR leaders like you to uncover powerful insights, make better decisions and become the trusted advisor your organisation needs. 

Nine ways Ciphr analytics can help with your HR analytics reporting 

  1. Instantly drill down to underlying data

Your HR data should do more than present a topline figure. It should tell you what’s really going on. 

With Ciphr analytics, you can instantly drill down beneath headline numbers to see the data that sits underneath. This transparency helps HR leaders gain confidence in their analysis and quickly identify root causes. Spotted a sudden rise in turnover? A few clicks and you’ll know if it's linked to a specific team, tenure group or job role, empowering you to take informed, timely action. 

  1. Interface built for analytics reporting

Clunky interfaces and overly complex tools slow your progress. Ciphr analytics is designed for deep analysis, without the steep learning curve. 

Built with HR professionals in mind, the interface gives you direct access to the reporting and filtering tools you need – no coding, no jargon, no fuss. Whether you’re pulling a report for your next board meeting or exploring new patterns in employee engagement, the process is quick, intuitive and tailored for action. 

  1. HR-specific dashboards for fast, focused insights

Time is always in short supply. That’s why Ciphr analytics includes HR-specific dashboards that surface the insights you need most. 

From absence trends and headcount changes to recruitment metrics and employee demographics, these dashboards are designed to answer common HR questions quickly – so you spend less time compiling data and more time driving change. 

 

 

  1. Out-of-the-box dashboards, ready to go

You don’t need a data science team to get started with Ciphr analytics. With out-of-the-box dashboards, you can hit the ground running. 

These pre-built dashboards eliminate the need to create analytics reports from scratch. They’re ready for you on day one and are built around the metrics that matter most to HR. That means less time spent building reports – and more time understanding and improving your people strategy. 

  1. Custom reports with extract and explore views

Every organisation is different, which means off-the-shelf insights will only get you so far. 

Our extract and explore views allow you to create and customise reports that reflect your unique organisational needs. Build detailed queries, export data directly to Excel and craft visuals that speak directly to your leadership audience. With our analytics suite, you're always prepared with clear, compelling answers, backed by reliable data. 

  1. Year-on-year and KPI analysis views

Performance data means more when you can track how it changes over time. Ciphr analytics makes year-on-year comparisons easy, with views that let you track progress and spot trends without needing to export and manipulate spreadsheets. 

You can also zero in on key performance indicators (KPIs), helping you answer specific questions with precision. Whether you're measuring diversity efforts, training completion rates or retention by department, these tools help you turn data into strategy. 

 


  1. Dedicated DEI dashboard for inclusive analysis

Today, DEI isn’t just a priority – it’s a business imperative. But measuring DEI impact comes with complexity, especially when dealing with small employee cohorts and sensitive data. 

That’s why Ciphr analytics offers a dedicated DEI dashboard, specifically designed to protect anonymity and maintain trust. This dashboard restricts filtering on small groups and prevents drill down, helping you understand your workforce’s diversity without risking the confidentiality of your people. 

It’s a thoughtful, secure solution that empowers you to track progress on equity and inclusion, while safeguarding the integrity of your data. 

  1. Built-in security and role-based access

HR data is among the most sensitive in any organisation. Ciphr analytics honours that responsibility with robust, built-in security controls. 

Access to data is always based on employee visibility within the HR system, meaning managers only see data for their own teams. Dashboards are viewable by organisational units, so you can confidently share insights without compromising data integrity. 

It’s secure by design, enabling your HR team to lead with confidence while maintaining privacy and compliance. 

  1. Integrated navigation between analytics and HR

A disconnected HR tech stack slows you down. Ciphr analytics is part of our HR software, meaning you can move effortlessly between analytics and your core HR tools. 

This connected experience saves time, reduces duplication and makes it easier to link insight with action. See a worrying trend in your analytics dashboard? Just explore or update records in your Ciphr HR software. This integrated navigation frees up your time moving back and forth between platforms so you can focus on what matters – leading change and supporting your people. 

Analytics reporting made easy: analytics designed to work for HR 

Ciphr analytics isn’t a general-purpose analytics reporting tool adapted for HR. It’s been built from the ground up, by current and former HR professionals, and with HR leaders in mind. It's here to help you with your goals, your challenges and the pressure you’re under to deliver results that matter – and simplify that as much as possible with 

From intuitive dashboards and powerful analytics reporting tools to role-based security and tailored DEI features, Ciphr analytics puts you in control of your data. So you can lead with impact, influence and insight.
