Your dashboard shows time-to-hire is down—but is that good or bad? This course teaches you to explain what three core workforce metrics actually measure—time-to-hire, absenteeism rate, and internal mobility rate—and why reading them together matters more than any single number. You'll populate a real dashboard template from HRIS data and learn how to spot when a green indicator hides a serious problem. You'll also use AI tools like ChatGPT to draft stakeholder summaries of your findings—then verify the AI's output against your actual data. Through realistic role plays where you walk a CEO through live dashboard results and coach dialogues where you handle skeptical managers, you'll build the visual literacy every HR professional needs. Designed for HR professionals new to people analytics. Basic spreadsheet familiarity helpful. Access to free ChatGPT or Claude recommended.
