| Content | HR analytics – the analysis of HR-related data – has the potential to improve central decision making processes in organizations. Whether in the recruitment process, in performance assessments or to understand why certain employees think about leaving an organization, increasingly, the gut instinct is being replaced by data-driven decision-making processes. In this course, possible opportunities of HR analytics will be addressed, as well as aspects that must be taken into account in order to realize these. Also, common difficulties and limitations of HR analytics will be discussed. This course will consist of input lectures, group discussions as well as practical project work. A more detailed syllabus can be found at the department website Human Resources and Organization before the start of the semester. |
| Learning objectives | - Obtaining an overview of how the use of data can improve how people are managed along the employee lifecycle - Learning about what needs to be considered when carrying out a HR analytics project - Application of the acquired knowledge and development of relevant recommendations for action within the scope of a group project |
