Turn engagement survey data into reports executives actually read—and act on. You'll learn why the four-section framework (objective, methodology, findings, actions) builds credibility with decision-makers, and you'll practice compiling a two-page executive summary using a professional template. Using AI tools like ChatGPT, you'll translate technical findings into plain language and write action recommendations with clear owners and timelines. Through realistic role plays where you diagnose a colleague's incomplete report and defend your own structure to a skeptical VP, you'll develop documentation skills that transform data into decisions. This course is designed for HR professionals, analysts, and others who need to communicate workforce insights to leadership. Basic familiarity with engagement surveys is helpful, but no prior report-writing experience is required.
