Storytelling in HR Training Workshop

People data is everywhere. An individual’s employee, consumer and social data are increasing in volume and presence. This is an incredibly valuable resource for HR and the business if they can find a way to leverage it.

People analytics allows companies to think differently about their people operations. They can now test various hypotheses, gather insights and predict outcomes.

What attendees at the last course had to say :

“We are starting out on our People Analytics journey and the course was very helpful in providing a pragmatic framework for the delivery of a data driven HR service.”
(Steve Boyd, HR Business Partner, RVS)

“I really enjoyed the course. It has certainly made me think differently and I am excited to put what I have learnt into practice!" 
(Tracey Webb - HR Operations Manager, Gloucestershire Constabulary)

“Nice mix of theory and practise. I found the People Analytics demos easy to follow and very relevant for my HR business partner objectives.”
(Ryan Marr, HR Business Partner, Exertis PLC)

“I get a lot of emails promoting things but this one on HR Storytelling just jumped out at me. When I read it I found it to be just what I was looking for”
(Andrew Kent - Head of People Analytics, Tesco Bank)

Overview

 

People data is everywhere. An individual’s employee, consumer and social data are increasing in volume and presence. This is an incredibly valuable resource for HR and the business if they can find a way to leverage it.

People analytics allows companies to think differently about their people operations. They can now test various hypotheses, gather insights and predict outcomes.

We are slowly but steadily moving away from a best practice and experience based organisational culture to an evidence based, collaborative decision making approach.

Storytelling in HR Training Workshop

The Google rework project provides a pragmatic and accessible illustration of this new data driven collaborative approach - https://rework.withgoogle.com/subjects/people-analytics/

People analytics creates a unique opportunity for human capital and human resources professionals to position themselves as evidence based strategic partners of the executive board.

Rapid transformation of the workforce and the workplace is understandably making the other business functions turn to HR for actionable insights in terms of their people.

The course is aimed at anyone in an organisation who is tasked with or wants to take a leading role in getting their organisation engaged with the process of People Data to Actionable Insights.

For any People Analytic project to succeed; HR initiatives must be directly connected to Business drivers. In practical terms this means marrying HR data with Business data. To that end the course instructor will ensure that the People and Business data in class exercises speak directly to individual attendees and their specific business challenges.

We strongly believe in a pragmatic approach to delivering People Analytics into the business. Accordingly, the course is designed to give delegates ample time to reflect on and discuss topics in terms of how they would play out for them at their company. A healthy mix of theory and practise is on offer.

Course Preparation

We understand that people are very busy and may not have as much time as they would like to prepare for a course. Accordingly we have designed the course to cover the top generic topics of concern e.g. employee engagement, where we will have dummy data available to work with. Or alternatively we welcome the opportunity for you to anonymise your own data and bring it to class in an excel format to produce insights that will resonate back at the office. If this is of interest please let us know and we will arrange a brief pre-course call with an instructor.
