HR Analytics Workshop - UVA SCPS Analytics Fall Workshop.pdf · •Hands-on HR Analytics Interpretation and Execution ... He holds a doctorate in Human Resources Leadership Development

While the idea of HR becoming a strategic partner to the wider organization is not new, the idea of using analytics to accomplish that goal is (Mark Feffer, 2014). It will no longer be enough to report on a department’s turnover rate, for example. HR will have to identify why turnover is high, and come armed with recommendations to address the root cause (Rishi Agarwal, PwC, 2014).

Workshop Description: This two-day workshop provides HR practitioners an applied learning experience in HR Analytics. Participants explore the information and tools needed to harness the power of HR analytics to determine future organization performance outcomes. They learn to employ functional analytic imperatives to HR work through hands-on analysis, interac-tive case studies, problem-solving, and exercises through which participants gain the skills and knowledge to apply HR Analytics in the workplace. An understanding of Microsoft Excel and its capabilities are highly recommended.

With the completion of this workshop, learners will be able to:

•Articulate the value and adoption of HR Analytics within the organization

•Employ functional analytics imperatives to HR work

•Evaluate and recommend HR data analysis needs

•Understand how basic statistical and data visualization techniques can be used for HR analysis

•Apply Microsoft Excel to conduct hands-on data analytics

•Discover how to connect HR data analyses to bottom-line financial outcomes
