A compact 2-day programme for HR practitioners who want to become more competent and confident in making sense of data for enhanced people decisions
As HR practitioners, are you able to forecast which employees are at risk of leaving? Can you help improve the organisation’s engagement level? Are you well equipped to drive better compensation and benefits design?
Leading companies such as Google and Starbucks have adopted data-driven approaches to make decisions about their employees. Best Buy, an electronics retail store in the USA, found that a 0.1% increase in their employee engagement at a particular store translates into a US$100K increase in the store’s operating revenue. AT&T and Google found that, for their companies, the ability to take initiative, rather than stellar academic records from prestigious schools is a far better predictor of high performance on a job. These companies leverage on employee and other data extensively to help them make objective HR decisions.
The application of talent analytics to enhance the value of companies is well recognised. However, the challenge faced by HR practitioners is i) knowing WHAT to analyse (to identify the kind of analyses that will help them make better people decisions) and ii) knowing HOW to analyse (to have the knowledge and be proficient in the use of analytical tools to undertake analytics). This intensive two-day programme aims to address the challenges outlined above, and equip the HR practitioners to be more competent and confident in making sense of data for enhanced people decisions.
