I’m sure some companies are doing actual science with the data they collect from employees. I’m sure some (but a smaller amount) are converting their analysis into “actionable insights.” And an even smaller amount is actually implementing those ideas.

But most are just doing it to do it, because they see others doing it, and so that they can have the marketing team write in glowing detail on their social media pages and in the annual report how they are an “analytically-driven organization that is passionate about optimizing the employee experience to promote greater productivity and collaboration, and to develop a sustainable pipeline for disruptive innovations.”
