1-Day Workshop: Data Visualization for HR
“Without Data you’re just another person with an opinion” – W. Edwards Deming
There has been growing interest in analytics over the past decade; particularly how data can be leveraged to create value for organizations through analytics, by augmenting and improving the decision-making processes. To the point where many organizations have sought to build core competencies in analytics to fuel their growth. While HR came to the analytics game a little later, a growing number of HR leaders are recognizing the potential that their HR data could hold, and HR functions are seeing greater interest and adoption of analytics in recent times.
This is ONE of FOUR workshops in a comprehensive series on the topic of HR Analytics. Each workshop is modular in nature, addressing different aspects along the analytics value chain.
• HR Data Management and Reporting
• HR Mining Data & Analysis
• Data Visualization for HR
• HR Data Storytelling
As HR Analytics grows in popularity, more organizations are bringing more data and complexity into their analyses. Increasingly, organizations are starting to face a different challenge – they are drowning in data but parched for information and insights.
“Visualizing information is a form of knowledge compression.” David McCandless
Many are turning to data visualization as a possible solution, as a means to
• Compress knowledge and insights from large and complex data sets and analysis
• Make such insights accessible and understandable, even to those who may be less comfortable with numbers
• Communicate such insights to a broader audience
“Visualization gives you answers to questions you didn’t know you had.” Ben Schneiderman
This workshop aims to provide a broad but practical overview of the entire analytics value chain; with a focus on leveraging data visualization to facilitate the analytics process and to communicate pivotal insights. This includes building data visualizations directly from a database, selecting the right data visualization for the right message and building an interactive dashboard report. This is targeted at professionals and managers in non-analyst roles but may be required to work with or make sense of data and presenting data in their work.
