You don't need to be an HR professional, or a data scientist or an HR futurist - everyone is welcome and we'll even provide you with some food and drink!

Everyone is using data and analytics to improve the way they make decisions - and the world of work, HR and management is no different. Tools now exist that allow us to analyse what employees want from work, and to quantify and predict the impact of 'people' on the business both now and in the future: There is no question about your workforce that HR/people data cannot provide more insight into and help you answer more accurately - and it is no longer just HR asking the questions.

On 27 November we are bringing together analytics enthusiasts from both HR and other data science backgrounds to discuss and share ideas around the practical experience of conducting analytics in 'people' decision-making, at the Leeds University Business School. By hosting these events, we hope to understand, progress and accelerate the adoption of data-driven decision-making by HR and people professionals.
