In this course, we develop the skills and knowledge needed to deal with Human Resources (HR) metrics, management information, and HR analytics. We start with a brief overview of a framework from which to understand and work with HR analytics. This leads to a conversation about how to carry out analyses of data and how to interpret results. Then we explore how to use these metrics to build a business case for HR interventions and make evidence-based decisions about the organization’s HR strategy.
This course serves to provide HR managers with an understanding of what data to analyze, and how to interpret and analyze the data for effective HR decision-making.
