Analytics and EBHR
Persuasive Analytics: Influencing with Data
Data is often hailed as ‘the future of HR’. In reality, it has always been a part of HR – the function just hasn’t always been as skilled as it could be in using it. Data can be a powerful tool in persuading leaders to act and to support decisions that enhance business performance.
This online event will explore how HR can harness the power of data to fix business problems, instead of being used to simply fulfil HR reporting requirements. Understand the skills needed to leverage data to deliver tangible business impact and improve the quality of decision making in your organisation.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the power of people analytics to add value as a business and not just an HR tool and the skills needed to apply them effectively
- Discover how storytelling around data can be used as a tool to influence senior leaders
- Learn how to use data to drive business transformation
Who is this Event for?
Senior leaders and HR professionals looking to utilise people analytics for business transformation.
