Background of the Study
Business intelligence (BI) tools have become essential for enhancing human resource (HR) performance by providing insights into workforce analytics, performance metrics, and employee engagement. These tools enable HR managers to make data-driven decisions, streamline recruitment processes, and monitor employee performance effectively (Gartner, 2024).
In Kebbi State, consulting firms face challenges such as talent retention, inefficient HR processes, and limited access to actionable data. BI tools present an opportunity to address these issues by providing comprehensive insights that enhance HR decision-making and overall organizational performance. However, the adoption of BI tools in consulting firms in Kebbi State is still in its early stages, with limited empirical research on their impact (Usman & Abdullahi, 2024).
Statement of the Problem
Consulting firms in Kebbi State struggle with HR inefficiencies due to the lack of advanced tools for workforce analysis. Traditional HR management approaches are often inadequate in addressing the dynamic needs of modern organizations. While BI tools have shown significant benefits globally, their impact on HR performance in the local context is underexplored (Bello et al., 2024). This study investigates how BI tools influence HR performance in consulting firms in Kebbi State.
