Mining HR Data for Insights - One-Day Workshop

Synopsis
There has been growing interest in analytics over the past decade; particularly how data can be leveraged to create value for organisations through analytics, by augmenting and improving decision-making processes. To the point where many organisations have sought to build core competencies in analytics to fuel their growth. While HR came to the analytics game a little later, a growing number of HR leaders are recognising the potential that their HR data could hold, and HR functions are seeing greater interest and adoption of analytics in recent times.

One of the key benefits of HR Analytics is the ability to glean objective insights from data, as opposed to opinions, suspicions and guesses; allowing HR to identify and respond to real issues and not “imaginary” ones. This requires quantitative skills to mine the data for objective and pivotal insights; much of it grounded in statistics which may not be a common competency in many HR teams.

This workshop aims to provide a broad but practical overview of the entire analytics value chain, with a specific focus on gleaning objective insights from HR data. Attendees will get a practical introduction to statistics concepts and tools most relevant to HR. Attendees will also get the opportunity to get their hands “dirty” applying these concepts with data in realistic situations to glean and interpret objective insights, and finally effectively communicate their findings to decision makers. This is targeted at professionals and managers in analyst roles that require them to conduct data driven analysis to support people decisions in their organization.
