ENGAGEMENT EXPERTS 101 - DESIGNING A PEOPLE ANALYTICS FUNCTION FOR DATA DRIVEN HR

It has never been more important to listen to your employees and understand the experience that your workers are having at your company. Retaining your top talent is becoming increasingly challenging and the stakes are high for businesses to make the necessary changes needed to maintain a respected employer brand.

So, why are organizations struggling to make better data driven decisions? Why are so many companies relying on guesswork, or hunches, rather than cold hard data?

The short answer is that people analytics can be hard. HR departments can run into a myriad of challenges in running a people analytics function from poor data quality to outdated tech stacks.
