In this HRchat, we look at the why and how of improving the data literacy skills of the HR department.
My guest this time is Matthew Hamilton, Head of HR Strategy and People Analytics at Protective Life. As part of their mission to upskill their workforce, Protective Life has contracted AIHR to upskill their HR professionals with analytical and data skills and help foster a data-driven culture.
Interview questions include:
- Why is it important for HR to have data-driven and analytical skills?
- Would you say data analysis skills are more important than HR knowledge?
- So you joined Protective Life to help them build data-driven capabilities in their HR dept. How did you implement the so-called 4 pillars of a data-driven culture?
- Can you give examples of how People Analytics can help or enhance HR?
