Workforce Management, a provider of business publication for workforce management, and OrcaEyes, a provider of workforce analytics software, have entered into a partnership to distribute analytics software and publish human capital metric benchmark data and business performance research to workforce leaders and business executives.

As this strategic business data is mined, Workforce Management will develop benchmark reports, case studies, research and coverage for those wanting to understand the financial opportunities for human capital analytics and related resources.

It will also develop workforce planning for organisations wanting to understand business risks, workforce gaps and supply/demand forecasting.

"By delivering predictive, data-driven, business intelligence solutions, workforce leaders are empowered to deliver increased value, innovation and industry leading performance quantifiably," Hilbert said.

"By connecting business enterprise systems with HR and finance systems, there is tremendous opportunity in delivering predictive, data-driven, business intelligence solutions.
