The need for HR professionals to understand and apply data analytics is greater than ever. Today’s successful HR professionals must ask insightful questions, understand key terms, and intelligently apply data, but may lack a clear understanding of the many forms, types, applications, interpretations, and capabilities of HR analytics. HR Analytics provides a practical approach to using data to solve real HR challenges in organizations and demystifies analytics with clear guidelines and recommendations for making the business case, starting an HR analytics function, avoiding common pitfalls, presenting data through visualization and storytelling, and much more.
This book is a simple, straightforward guide to HR analytics. The book is written to be a step-by-step guide and is a great starting point for most HR professionals. I appreciate how the book is honest about being a starting point and you will more likely need more resources to get your analytics set up, and provides some of those resources in the book.
Educational Read on how HR has changed in the last decade. A focus on data, people, and innovation should lead the organization and departments of modern-fast pace professionals.
