Lucinda is joined by Andrew Webster, a Senior People Analytics Manager at Evershed Sutherland, to discuss the evolving field of HR analytics and its significance in modern organisations.

Andrew shares insights from his career journey, highlighting his transition from a mathematics teacher to a key player in HR analytics, where he focuses on transforming data into actionable insights. He also discusses the importance of using tools like Power BI to visualise data and support strategic decision-making within HR

KEY TAKEAWAYS


The transition from manual Excel-based reporting to automated systems like Power BI is crucial for HR professionals to provide actionable insights and support strategic decision-making.


Utilising data to predict employee turnover and performance trends can help HR intervene proactively, enhancing employee engagement and reducing recruitment costs.


The integration of AI in HR analytics is an emerging trend that can streamline processes, improve reporting, and enhance the ability to derive insights from data more quickly.


The journey of understanding one's own neurodiversity can lead to greater self-acceptance and recognition of unique strengths, which can be leveraged in professional settings.

BEST MOMENTS

"I've always said I've made a career out of creating really good insights out of really bad data. It doesn't have to be perfect to have something useful."

"You want to be able to demonstrate your evidence base, you want to be able to show influence people of things."

"AI will not replace the head work or the heart work, but it will replace some of the hands work."

"I think I found out that I have an autistic spectrum condition... It gives me some of my greatest strengths as well as challenges."

"It's accept us for who we are and channel those strengths. Focus on the positives because you're right, it is human nature often to go into the negatives."
