With advances in technology and cloud computing, numerous data sources are available to drive organizational success. High-performing HR teams use data as a "decision science" by identifying metrics and data sources that deliver organizational insights. This course focuses on identifying effective data sources, developing meaningful metrics, designing long-term measures, and applying results in support of organizational strategy and tactics.

Welcome to the Human Resources Analytics course! We will begin this course by exploring the Human Resources Metric Life Cycle, which will include an analysis of the employee life cycle, HR agility, and the various types of metrics used to measure and drive business outcomes.
