Using People Analytics and Data within HR and OD Functions

Overview 

This session will show how analytics and research principles can be applied to our people functions. It is vital that we understand the make up of our workforce along with the factors that will impact on it. To do this effectively, we must apply a structured and non-biased approach to gathering and interpreting data which will inform our decision making and support the application of appropriate workforce interventions.
