This research aims at exploring how HR analytics can improve supply chain performance by implementing data-driven human capital management strategies. A survey involving 300 respondents from the human resource and supply chain fields was conducted, and a quantitative method was used to identify how workforce analytics ensures that the readiness of the employees is in line with the operations during disruptions. The study reveals that there is a high level of implementation of HR analytics as a key factor in enhancing workforce optimization, engagement, and flexibility that support supply chain reliability and sustainability. Also, the adoption of innovative technologies such as Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning as key enablers in managing risks, eliminating waste, and improving sustainability in supply chain management is noted. Companies using HR analytics showed enhanced strategic and operational decision-making and more effectively handled disruptions in workforce and operations. This research emphasizes the need to integrate insights from data analytics into the supply chain initiatives for sustainability and competitiveness. Subsequent research should also concentrate on the application of the developed models within certain sectors and the relationship between workforce analytics and novel technologies.
