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.

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.
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.
