People Operations within companies have access to fast amounts of people data. HR Analytics aims to utilise this data in a novel way, providing companies with unique insights into their biggest asset – their people.
You'll not only learn how to dissect the data people operations hold, but also how the data could be used to predict workplace issues. By applying statistical tools and software you'll learn how to detect organisational biases that contribute to inequalities within the workplace. You’ll gain an analytical mindset when it comes to people data and learn how to apply this knowledge to organisations and people management in an ethical and sustainable way.
