Chapters:

[0:00 - 5:46] Introduction

Welcome, Schon!
Today’s Topic: How to Start Making Data-Driven HR Decisions

[5:47 - 12:10] What gets in the way of HR using data successfully?

There needs to be an advocate that is willing to initiate new data analytics processes
Numbers alone do not deliver the context required to tell the full story behind the data

[12:11 - 18:01] Client success stories and commonalities among them

Formulate hypotheses and then discuss them with those involved to gather additional information
Data will not solve problems so much as direct attention toward them

[18:02 - 28:01] What are clients building into their models to accommodate AI?

AI can provide insights that would have previously been very difficult to gather and help direct HR’s focus to unnoticed problems
There’s no need to fear that AI will replace human workers

[28:02 - 30:19] Final Thoughts & Closing

Keep it simple and start
Thanks for listening!

Quotes:

“Somebody has to take it upon themselves to make [data analytics] important. . . . Unless you have at least one person that’s going to dive in and do the work, it’s not going to go anywhere.”

“There’s no need for someone within HR to fear the evolution of AI stealing [their job].”
