HR Analytics
Faculty: DR. AKANKSHA JAISWAL
Course Outline
I. COURSE OVERVIEW
Having strong analytical capabilities and knowledge of statistics helps provide a firm
foundation for HR professionals. Thus, mastering the HR metric by learning to carry out
predictive HR analytics will fundamentally strengthen the skill set of the profession. Further,
an HR analytics professional should instil a mentality of answering the ‘So what?’ question.
They should be always on the lookout for how their findings could be translated to useful
practice knowledge, and whether any particular knowledge gained can help to strengthen and
steer the organization’s people strategy.
Analytics approaches provide evidence-based pointers for practice and can help take
some emotion and gut instinct out of the ‘people’ decision making process. An HR function
that employs predictive analytics capabilities will attract credibility because the function will
be able to present robust, tangible, and hard evidence. The function will be able to carry out
substantial ‘what if’ scenario modelling to help build solid business cases that help
organizations to make better decisions.
