Trust & People Analytics

You can not do it without trust.

People Analytics and Datafication are powerful tools – however, a fool with a tool remains a fool.

Learning objectives:

  • Understand the centrality of trust for business excellence and People Analytics
  • Design technological solutions in a way that enhances or at least does not undermine trust
  • Understand a «being digital» culture that enables «machines to serve humans» and not vice versa

 

HR Analytics in the Practice

In this interactive module, you will join a real-life simulation where you assume the role of a Head of People Analytics reporting to the CHRO. In the role you are presented with a Human Resources Information System, consisting of tens of thousands of employee data. The module will introduce visual analytics tools that help you to quickly navigate large-scale people data. The ultimate goal of the session is to expand your analytical aptitude and the ability to derive actionable conclusions from HR data that can inform subsequent strategic decisions.  


Panel Discussion

People Analytics – it’s not just about Data but also about Mindset!

People Analytics is a popular new trend and powerful tool for improving HR decision-making. However, to unfold its full potential, leaders need to change their mindset and implement digital literacy and trust as prevailing principles inside the organization.

Learning Obectives

  • Understand the basic principles of evidence-based management to familiarize yourself with the change of mindset
  • Translate complex business challenges into root-cause relationships suitable for People Analytics practice
  • Experiment with an evidence-based mindset using concrete people issues from your business practice

How to turn People Analytics Insights into Business Impact


Introduction to Personal Action Plan

Implementation and Use of People Analytics from a Legal Perspective

Our empirical studies show that data-based People Analytics tools are being tried out and implemented very widely, but often rather carelessly. This course helps to identify legal risks in People Analytics projects at an early stage to avoid unpleasant legal surprises later on.

Learning Obectives

  • Understand the legal framework for using People Analytics tools
  • Understand legal issues from an employment law and data protection law perspective
  • Recognize the legal risks related to the implementation and use of People Analytics tools

Implementation of People Analytics in the Age of AI

For several generations, scientists have attempted to build enhanced intelligence into computer systems. Recently, progress in developing and implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) has quickened. AI is now attracting the attention of business and government leaders as a potential way to optimise decisions and performance across all management levels, including people management.
However, in spite of this tremendous growth in interest in people analytics (AI-enabled people management), there is a serious lack of understanding of the potential impact of AI on organizations, and especially – on human resource management practices.
In every large corporation, you have somebody screaming, ‘You need to do more people analytics!’ According to a 2020 NewVantage Partners survey, nine out of 10 leading businesses have investments in AI technologies but less than 15% deploy AI capabilities in their work.
During the online module, we will discuss whether we really must do “more of people analytics”, and if so – why and how.

Beyond the Data: Responsible Leadership with HR-Analytics

Being a future leader means being a responsible leader! We explore the consequences that different forms of leadership responsibility have on trust between leaders, employees, and other stakeholders to provide actionable insights for daily leadership practice.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the critical role leadership responsibility plays for HR-Analytics
  • Reflect own responsibility orientations and how they influence organizational outcomes like decision-making and employee trust
  • Translate it into practice – The example of HR-Analytics for Skills Planning
