Course Description
“Without data you’re just another person with an opinion.” ~ W. Edwards Deming
In layman’s terms Analytics can be defined as ‘the analysis of data to draw hidden insights to aid decision-making.’
As HR professionals, it is time to learn a skill that will transform the way you work. This course will get you trained on basic analytics techniques and help you uncover data-driven insights that will aid in HR decision-making and reporting.
HR analytics gives organizations the capacity to leverage data in order to address challenges faced not only by HR, but also by the core business. It provides organizations the ability to develop and implement a people strategy in line with its business strategy, thereby improving performance across a broad range of metrics.
HR analytics does not just deal with gathering data on employee efficiency. Instead, it aims to provide insight into each process by gathering data and then using it to make relevant decisions about how to improve these processes. The key aspect of HR analytics is to conclusively show the impact the HR department has on the organization as a whole. Establishing a cause-and-effect relationship between what HR does and business outcomes - and then creating strategies based on that information - is what HR analytics is all about.
This course is aimed to help participants receive both a conceptual understanding of the HR Analytics universe and process. It is specifically tailored for those people that have little or no experience in processing and analyzing data.
