Case management analytics helps you understand how your HR case operation is performing over time. It provides dashboards and trends that show demand, workload, service levels, backlog, and employee experience, helping you make informed operational decisions.
Unlike the analytics available within an individual case, Case management analytics focuses on the overall health of your case practice across teams, services, and time periods.
Why use case management analytics?
Working individual cases helps employees resolve their requests. Managing a case practice requires a broader view.
Case management analytics helps answer questions such as:
- Is our backlog growing or shrinking?
- Which teams are handling the most work?
- Are we meeting our service commitments?
- Which categories generate the highest demand?
- How is the employee experience changing over time?
- Where can we improve processes or resource allocation?
By identifying trends rather than individual cases, analytics helps managers and administrators make better operational decisions.

What you can learn
Case management analytics helps you monitor the overall performance of your HR service.
Depending on your organization's configuration, dashboards can provide insight into:
- Case volumes and workload
- Backlog trends
- Team performance
- Priority distribution
- Service Level Agreement (SLA) and Experience Level Agreement (XLA) performance
- Employee feedback and satisfaction
- AI-assisted case management performance
You can filter dashboards to focus on the teams, services, priorities, locations, or time periods that matter most.
Who uses Case management analytics?
Different roles use analytics to answer different operational questions.
| Role | Typical focus |
| HR leaders | Monitor demand, backlog, service performance, and employee experience across the organization. |
| Case Managers | Review team workload, identify cases at risk, and balance resources across queues. |
| Case Administrators | Evaluate operational performance, review service trends, and identify opportunities to improve processes or service-level policies. |
Best practices
- Review analytics regularly to identify trends before they become operational issues.
- Use filters to understand performance across different teams, services, and time periods.
- Consider both operational efficiency and employee experience when evaluating performance.
- Use analytics to guide staffing, routing, and process improvements rather than focusing on individual cases.
