MGT-H405 Honors People Analytics

Organizations are increasingly relying on analytics to manage people at work and to make human capital decisions. Managers and human resource (HR) practitioners will continue to rely on people analytics to gain insights into their workforce, and to better align human capital strategy with organizational performance. This course will help students develop the skills to become critical analysts within their organizations. In this course, we will cover ethical considerations and statistical analysis techniques to address common human capital and managerial decision-making issues that may arise at various points in the HR management lifecycle, such as during recruitment/hiring, performance management, employee engagement and attrition management. The skills learned in this course will allow practitioners to make evidence-based decisions through data analysis, interpretation, and presentation.
