Talent Analytics

1.5 units

Finding, developing, and retaining the best talent has always been the key to sustained success in business. Organizations today have potential access to far more useful information about people than ever before, but most struggle to access and use it effectively. In a highly competitive global market, rigorously analyzing data to enable timely and strategic decisions about talent provides a critical edge. In this course, students will learn how to use analytics to bring data and rigorous modelling to bear on people-related issues, such as recruiting, performance evaluation, leadership development and succession, job design, and compensation. Together, these factors can help organizations achieve their long-range strategic goals, rather than simply serving as administrative support functions.
