Do we need HR
Analytics
HR doesn’t get the respect it deserve
because it’s soft and we don’t have
measures that accounting, marketing and
other areas have.
People analytics is the application of math, statistics and modeling to worker-related data to
see and predict patterns. In particular, people analytics, also known as HR analytics and
talent analytics, is analysis used to make better decisions about all aspects of HR strategy
with the goal of improving business performance.

In short, HR analytics demonstrates the causal relationship between the activities exacted
by an HR department and the business outcomes that result from this activity.

Requires use of statistical analysis
Variables can be identified and relationships measured
Counted or expressed numerically
Often perceived as a more objective method of data analysis
Typically collected with surveys or questionnaires
Often represented visually using graphs or charts
Data that are not pre-existing and are Information that has already been collected,
collected by the evaluator using methods processed and reported out by another
such as observations, surveys or interviews researcher/entity

Can be more expensive and time- Will tell you what questions still need to be
consuming, but it enables you to collect data addressed and what data you should collect

evaluation
Data Collection Techniques
Interviews
Questionnaires and Surveys
Observations
Focus Groups
Ethnographies, Oral History, and Case Studies
Documents and Records
Interviews
Interviews can be conducted in person or over the telephone
Interviews can be done formally (structured), semi-structured, or
informally
Questions should be focused, clear, and encourage open-ended
responses
Interviews are mainly qualitative in nature
Measures of Variability
• Range, Interquartile range (IQR)
While the range measures where the beginning and end of your datapoint are, the
interquartile range is a measure of where the majority of the values lie.
Variance and Standard Deviation
The Standard Deviation (σ) and the Variance also measure, like the Range and IQR,
how spread apart our data is (e.g the dispersion). Therefore they are both derived
from the mean.
The variance is computed by finding the difference between every data point and
the mean, squaring them, summing them up and then taking the average of those
numbers.
The standard deviation (σ) is a statistic that measures the dispersion of a dataset
relative to its mean and is calculated as the square root of the variance. It is
calculated as the square root of variance by determining the variation between each
data point relative to the mean. If the data points are further from the mean, there is
higher deviation within the data set; thus, the more spread out the data, the higher
the standard deviation.
Standard Deviation
Modality
The modality of a distribution is determined by the number of peaks
it contains. Most distributions have only one peak but it is possible
that you encounter distributions with two or more peaks.

Understanding Solver Tool
Excel has the capability to solve linear (and often nonlinear) programming
problems with the SOLVER tool, which:
– May be used to solve linear and nonlinear optimization problems
– Allows integer or binary restrictions to be placed on decision variables
– Can be used to solve problems with up to 200 decision variables
