Connecting People and Performance

Regardless of where you find yourself at the moment, performance-led HR is the future. “Human Capital Analytics” is a program that has focus on the use of data to document the value added by HR to the organisational goals. The value of strategic HR is not in the gathering of big data, producing extensive dashboards, or making gigantic spreadsheets. Those things can easily be handled by administrators, IT systems, or external actors. Winning the battle for strategic HR lies in: 1) Changing the mindset, attitudes, and habits associated with the use of evidence for decision making 2) Identifying and asking the right questions, which will link business strategies with HR activities 3) Accepting key responsibilities for implementing change and for managing the changes in culture, process, behaviors, and capabilities that result from analytic initiatives These three themes are exactly the content of the “Human capital analytics”-program that will equip you with a deep understanding of how to use human capital analytics - in practice!

Connecting People and Performance

Most companies have accumulated a surfeit of workforce data: current and historic employees’ data, data from employees’ engagement surveys, customer satisfaction data and other business KPIs such as productivity, performance, sales, etc. Yet, but only few can make extensive use of data to drive human capital management decisions. Therefore, this course provides the participants with a deep understanding of the nature of human capital analytics and a toolkit - via practical exercises - on how to do that.

Course Content

A recent study by Deloitte found that only 10% of companies are using analytics to solve talent challenges and only 4% are using analytics to predict and forecast future talent needs and outcomes. Why so? In addition to the need of owning Big Data of a reasonable quality, developing a solid ground for evidence-based decisions requires having the right people – true change agents with strategic mindset, advanced analytical skills, and scientific rigor in modeling and interpretation of the results. 

Therefore, our goal is to equip the participants with capabilities to measure the impact of human capital on achievement of business goal and based on this to make evidence-based decisions. 

The following topics will be covered during the course: 

·  State-of-the art research on linking people to performance

·  Tools for analytics (crash course in basic statistics)

·  Tools for how to get executive buy in
