Start with a straightforward question, such as “which employees have the highest potential for progression and leadership?” You can answer this question using quite simple statistics. Doing this helps to quantify the relationships between people’s abilities and organizational outcomes. In this way, analytics can help your organization track absenteeism, turnover, burnout, performance and much more.
To get off to a flying start, enrol in a professional course in HR data analytics. At AIHR, we offer our People Analytics Certificate Program. These three courses are core to this certificate:
- The HR Analytics Leader course. This course is for managers who are heading an analytics department. It teaches all the skills and tools needed to do this successfully.
- The HR Data Analyst course. This course is for HR professionals who want to learn how to work with HR data using simple tools like Excel and PowerBI.
- The Strategic HR Metrics course. Metrics are the foundation of analytics. If you think you’re not yet ready for analytics because you’re not working with the right metrics, this is the course for you.
Analytics makes HR (even more) exciting. The insights provided can lead strategic decisions and optimize day-to-day business processes.
And if you know what makes your employees tick, you can create a better work environment and identify future leaders. Imagine that you could predict which employees are most likely to leave the company. This information helps in long-term planning for succession management – it benefits strategic workforce planning. A notable example of a company doing this is Credit Suisse.
