Abstract

In recent years, businesses have increasingly adopted responsible sustainable practices, initiatives, technologies, and business models. Sustainability has gained prominence, prompting organizations to measure and monitor their impact on various SDGs. This has led to the mainstream practice of sustainability reporting, which includes HRM practices and their impact on employees. The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is widely adopted as the most comprehensive reporting guideline available. People Analytics (PA) could assist organizations in making employee data for GRI reporting more accessible, interpretable, and actionable. However, the role of PA in sustainability reporting and its potential contribution to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals have not been adequately discussed. This study aims to investigate whether and how the use of PA in organizations can contribute to successful sustainability reporting and the achievement of different SDGs. We draw on Signaling Theory to examine the flow of PA information across HRM processes and its potential contribution to specific SDGs. This study represents the first phase of a larger research project. Our findings indicate that few signals on HRM practices are currently incorporated into GRI, primarily focusing on SDGs 3 (Good health and well-being), 4 (Quality education), 5 (Gender equality), and 8 (Decent work). Relying solely on GRI indicators makes it difficult to determine whether organizations truly adhere to PA principles in their sustainability reporting regarding HRM. This research could provide recommendations for HR professionals, sustainability experts, managers, and employees regarding the application of PA for sustainability reporting on HRM practices. The findings also lay the groundwork for future empirical research.
