Workforce analytics is now a top priority for most CHROs, yet the successful “Datafication” of an HR organization involves a lot more than just buying technology. It’s also about ensuring your team has the skillset and mindset to graduate from empathy-based to evidence-based HR, and figuring out how to manage the challenges that change brings. These experts have all been through the journey, and they’ll share their war stories and best practices with you, providing practical guidance about how to begin adopting a data-driven approach to HR. You’ll leave with a better understanding on how to chart your own course towards becoming a more data-driven HR function and organization.
