To celebrate the one year anniversary of this podcast and over 100,000 listens, we thought we would do something different. The team managed to persuade me to record a special role reversal episode of the podcast with me in the hot seat and the show’s co-creator Ian, firing the questions that some of you, including one of our previous guests Dave Ulrich, have kindly taken the time to send in. In this episode we look at the role of People Analytics in driving business value and how it is a key ingredient in HR’s success in the future.In our conversation, Ian and I discuss: Five steps to getting started in People Analytics and why analytics is a team sport Where People Analytics belongs in an organisation and how the field has been impacted by COVID-19 The most important skills required by HR professionals in a digital context The factors that provide me with optimism and pessimism about the future role of HR in delivering value both to the organisation and to the employee Why a human centred approach encompassing analytics, employee experience and digital technology promises a bright future for HRThis episode should be an interesting listen for anyone in a workforce or People Analytics role. HR and business professionals interested in how people data can drive business outcomes and CHRO’s looking to build or scale their People Analytics capabilities.Support for this podcast is brought to you by Insight222.
