Description
This course is not intended for analytics experts. It is intended for HR generalists. Build your confidence around using data.
HR Analytics, also called People Analytics, talent analytics and workforce analytics has been increasingly used in corporate HR teams.
This class is a beginner level introduction and does not require advanced mathematical knowledge. It is intended for Human Resource business partners and generalists who are curious about how businesses are using analytics to study employees. If you are seeking a purely statistical class, this is NOT the course for you. This class includes some of the easier data analysis tools in the Excel data analysis Toolpak but those who want to avoid all statistical work can skip these assignments.
Learn how HR teams are using analytics to improve the workplace for employees, to increase the bottom line for their business and to ensure fairness in the workplace. Learn how to properly select metrics and what happens when you ignore "Rule #3."
Learn how to connect tools like Excel, Tableau and Power BI to real-time data and data extracts.
