HR & People Data and Analytics Fundamentals

About This Course

If you're interested in getting a better understanding of what HR (Human Resource) or People data is, how it can by analyzed, and used, and how it can help you drive impact, then this course is for you. I designed this course specifically for individuals just getting started on a Human Resources or People team, or for individuals who are interested in learning the basics of HR or People data and analytics. No prior HR experience is necessary, but basic knowledge of Google Sheets or Excel will be very helpful.

Human Resource / People Generalists

Human Resource People Specialists

We'll cover the many places HR and People data can come from, including some common challenges (such as abbreviations and nicknames). This course also explores how to partner with other teams to improve how HR and People data is collected - something that will make your work as a HR or People data analyst more satisfying and increase the impact you will have on your team.

You'll also get hands on and learn how some basic HR and People metrics are derived, including things like headcount, engagement, diversity, and recruiting metrics. We'll get hands on in Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel to learn how to calculate various metrics and use other features of those tools. We certainly won't get into every HR and People metric, but by the end of the course you'll be able to use fundamental metrics to help your organization better understand its most important asset - its people.
