PROGRAM DETAILS

Our HR Metrics and Analytics program gives you the tools and skills to identify the information you need, understand it and use it to make meaningful recommendations and decisions in your workplace.

a) Find the Right Information

There’s no shortage of data that you can gather – but which metrics are the right ones? And how do you figure out what you should measure? We give you evidence-based tools and skills to better understand what you should be measuring, and why. You’ll also learn about data sources, financial statements, sample sizes and how to use five different analytics tools in key HR areas, including remuneration, recruitment, retention, employee engagement and labour relations.

b) Make Your Case

We use relevant case-study exercises and real-world examples that clearly demonstrate how to use your data to identify problems and implement evidence-based solutions. We’ll also show you how to combine qualitative and quantitative measures to create a more detailed analysis. You’ll be able to take these new skills and tools back to your organization for immediate implementation.

c) Contribute to the Bottom Line

Transform your metrics and analytics into programs and processes that make a true impact. You’ll learn how to present your data using charts and visuals, and develop skills for using your information to have informed, fact-based discussions and strategy sessions with business leaders.
