People analytics is a new and growing HR function that blends data science and organizational psychology to deliver a competitive advantage through people. People analytics quantifies this intangible value so that decisions about people—as individuals and in teams and organizations—can be data-driven. The right decisions on where to source talent, whom to hire and promote, which benefits to offer, which aspects of engagement to focus on, which skills to build or buy, and where to invest scarce HR budget resources can significantly impact business value and competitiveness. This non-technical course is designed for aspiring or early-career people analytics practitioners, newly minted people analytics leaders, and HR practitioners trying to increase their comfort and capability in making data-driven decisions. It will teach the required technical skills, complemented by guest speakers from leading companies who will share their journeys, offer guidance, and answer your questions.
During the course, students will purchase case studies and Harvard Business Review readings. They can expect to spend an additional $30–$50 on these materials.
