HR analytics is transforming how the best organisations make workforce decisions.
HR functions that can speak the language of data and evidence are gaining credibility and influence, while those relying solely on how things have always been done in the past are missing opportunities to drive measurable impact.

This programme brings HR practitioners up to speed with the latest tools and techniques from HR analytics, including artificial intelligence applications that are changing how we understand and manage talent.

The programme combines classroom learning with real world application. Participants will build their own analytics pitch throughout the two days, applying each new concept immediately to their specific business challenge.
