People Analytics

This course is designed to introduce students to the fundamental methods necessary to conducting people analytics. Organizations are increasingly relying on people analytics to improve decision-making in human resources, and ultimately contribute more effectively to organizational effectiveness. HR practitioners need to be skilled in understanding (1) the types of problems that can be addressed using HR analytics, (2) how to analyze and interpret human resource data, (3) how to evaluate the validity of those analyses, and (4) how to communicate analytical and statistical results in a way to influence decisions. The course is designed to teach basic people analytics skills and critical thinking skills with respect to HR decision-making. The course will involve data analysis and statistics, but its emphasis is on application and real-world problem solving. Prerequisite: BUAD 232 or DATA 201
