HR Courses

A couple of weeks ago, I asked People folks to recommend me 𝗛𝗥 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 courses. As Luke O’Mahoney said, 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵. 𝘏𝘙 𝘔𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘺𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘢𝘪𝘭 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 “𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵.

In addition, I discovered that people sometimes need help understanding the difference between HR analytics as a profession (𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴) and HR analytics skills among People folks (𝘂𝗽𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴).

Well, let’s try to figure it out ⚒

𝟭/ 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀
￭ Coursera’s “People Analytics” by the University of Pennsylvania is highly rated and covers a wide range of topics, including regression;
￭ LinkedIn Learning’s “HR Data Analytics” is more Excel-focused;
￭ edX’s “People Analytics” by the University of California, Irvine: Another solid option that delves into data-driven decision-making;
￭ AIHR “People Analytics”.

𝟮/ “𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲” (as I call it)
￭ Jessica Z.’s “People Ops as a Product” includes interesting ELTV:ECAC is useful for getting a general pulse on ROI on People initiatives.
￭ Matthew Lerner’s “Growth Levers” (playbook/guide) and the Growth Hacking approach created by Sean Ellis more broadly inspire People teams to select a single core growth metric (the 𝗡𝗦𝗠 — 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰) and then identify “levers” to pull and supplementary metrics that contribute to that top-line metric.

Megan Trotter has recently done some cool work on using NSMs in People teams. You can find more info about the NSM framework in her post here: https://lnkd.in/daWpYuaT.
