HR analytics only matters if it connects to what executives care about—growth, efficiency, risk, and competitive advantage. In this beginner course, you'll learn to link people data to organizational strategy and communicate that connection in terms business leaders understand. Using real-world examples from companies navigating workforce challenges, you'll apply strategic framing to identify priorities, use a metric-to-strategy alignment framework to map HR analytics to business outcomes, and analyze AI-drafted narratives to ensure those connections are accurate and defensible. By the end, you won't just report HR metrics—you'll position analytics as essential business infrastructure that drives decisions at the executive level.
