Human Resources Data Analysis for Strategic Decision Support
Learn to design, measure and defend your organisation's approach to HR data analysis.
Course Overview
A process for HR data analysis that managers quietly work around has already failed. Most disputes about the people management and development capability begin as a conversation that was handled badly. The programme suits teams tackling the practice within people management and development together as readily as individuals attending alone. It treats HR data analysis as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Practitioner evidence points the same way: this strand of people management and development improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Moving the people management and development capability from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Participants gain a realistic view of what HR data analysis costs and what it returns. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this part of people management and development in their own setting. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the wider people management and development agenda survives a hostile question.
