Google Cloud Launches New People Analytics Suite for APAC Enterprises
In December 2023, Google Cloud and NCS unveiled a joint initiative to accelerate enterprise and government AI adoption across Singapore, Australia, and the wider APAC region. The partnership supports digital transformation through people analytics, data integration, and responsible AI.
Google Cloud has released a suite of new people analytics tools tailored for enterprises in the Asia-Pacific. The offering aims to improve how HR teams collect, visualize, and act on workforce data, while also addressing concerns about ethics and integration with legacy systems.
Key features include sentiment analysis via BigQuery ML, advanced dashboards using Looker Studio, and AI-powered chat tools that can generate workforce reports and visualizations. These capabilities are designed to make it easier for HR leaders to transition from reactive problem-solving to strategic decision-making.
Google Cloud’s focus on integration addresses common challenges around legacy HRIS systems, offering advanced data residency controls and localized storage to meet compliance needs. The launch builds on successful use cases across sectors, including significant operational improvements at companies like Super-Pharm and Millennium BCP.
Google’s approach to responsible AI use in HR will be further examined at HR Tech Asia 2025 – strategically co-located as part of AI Week Asia 2025 – where attendees can explore practical frameworks for ethical deployment.
