Book description
Learn from Today’s Most Successful Workforce Analytics
Leaders
Transforming the immense potential of workforce analytics into
reality isn’t easy. Pioneering practitioners have learned
crucial lessons that can help you succeed. The Power of
People shares their journeys—and their indispensable
insights.
Drawing on incisive case studies and vignettes, three experts help
you bring purpose and clarity to any workforce analytics project,
with robust research design and analysis to get reliable insights.
They reveal where to start, where to find stakeholder support, and
how to earn “quick wins” to build upon.
You’ll learn how to sustain success through best-practice
data management, technology usage, partnering, and skill building.
Finally, you’ll discover how to earn even more value by
establishing an analytical mindset throughout HR, and building two
key skills: storytelling and visualization.
The Power of People will be invaluable to HR executives
establishing or leading analytics functions; HR professionals
planning analytics projects; and any business executive who wants
more value from HR.
