Businesses are being transformed by data analytics

Typical questions across the organisation

What recruitment sources are most likely to provide us with good employees?

Procurement Analytics Customer Management Employee Records Stock Control

What should we recommend to this customer? Which materials are in inventories across multiple sites? How much do I spend with each supplier?

“The skills of uncovering “insight” and being able to communicate this effectively as a “story” that correctly influences human capital decisions, is of increasingly critical importance in the global economy.” “Senior managers, line managers and employees all want HR to be proactive - independent minded, helping managers look ahead and tackling issues of strategic importance.” “Having achieved a valued role supporting strategy, we now need to be proactively visualising and preparing for the future.” “Work will become more insight-based, specialist and collaborative. In the war for talent our strategies must become smarter, and more focused on the performance of teams. HR will become the source of most competitive advantage.” If the CIPD were asking you about the future of HR, and the biggest challenges it faces today, what would your answer be?

Practitioners point to proactive data analytics as being the future of HR

Myths and answers

But a range of myths have been provided as excuses for not embracing a data-centric approach in HR

1. Our organisation doesn’t value analytics 2. Everything needs to be on one system before we can start 3. Our HR data isn’t good enough 4. It’s an 8 year journey to get results 5. Analytics is too hard Practise turning intuitions into business impact Map the owners of existing datasets and talk impact Focus on what’s important, create rules, and if need be, crowdsource more Not true – the sooner you start, the cleaner the data will be Not true – today’s tools reduce the cost of being curious

A systematic process can help you make the most of your data and overcome these traditional blockers.

C R A F T E D B Y C O N C E N T R A

  • The average large organisation has 8 different databases. The spread of

data across disparate systems generates multiple versions of truth.1)

  • >90% of companies have chronic problems with their data, e.g. missing,
  • utdated, inaccurate, typos…1)
  • Less that half of organisations have the tools for proactive HR; only 14%

are able to visualise data to plan for the future.

  • In many organisations, data analytics is still the preserve of data scientists

and statisticians.

  • HR too tied up in the ebb and flow of daily administration and not given

necessary tools to produce genuine insight.

HR Leaders’ responses to “We are getting significant returns on analytics investments.” Senior Business Leaders’ responses to “HR Data Analytics has led me to change a business decision in the past year.”

*Source: CEB (2013), The Analytics Era: Transforming HR’s Impact on the Business

So it is still rare for organisations to access the full potential of People data

Data is incomplete and under-used “For 85% of business leaders, more data is not adding up to better business decisions”*

  • Corporate activity: mergers, divestments
  • Changing structures: new organisation configurations
  • New versions of analysis
  • Changing systems: new applications, new systems, new databases
  • Changing markets: new products & services, new activities, new

teams

  • Changing people: skills, names, responsibilities, grades, salary, job

Don’t panic! 1. Data will always be messy

C R A F T E D B Y C O N C E N T R A

  • Limitations to the software being used (e.g. excel)

gradually being overcome with visualisations

  • Data from multiple sources can be connected to

uncover connections across data types: e.g. information about same employees scattered across datasets

  • Faster, simpler tools can help overstretched HR

departments; ‘reducing the cost of being curious’

  • 2. Tools are becoming more effective

Reasons HR can aspire to better analytics

slide-15
SLIDE 15

C R A F T E D B Y C O N C E N T R A

  • The reactive mindset came from being trapped with the worst tools in the business
  • HR can turn the tables and make the business take ownership of poor data
  • HR can combine its datasets with Finance to align definitions and establish one source of the

truth

  • HR can combine datasets with business outcomes (sales, profitability, CSAT, mortality) to

connect people decisions to strategic results

  • Communication across departments can be developed: overcoming organisational ‘silos’
  • HR can move from ‘reactive’, day-to-day tasks to proactively defining and delivering strategy

and planning the long-term To-Be

Physical Data Collection – for Everyday Engagement

In many organisations there is a reliance on annual employee surveys and customer mystery shopping Following these surveys reports can take a significant time to be received Mystery Shopping is a quick snapshot and can be inconsistent

  • Scores very often do not reflect the associated comments.
  • 2 points in the year cannot give a reflective view of the customer

experience

Quite often the results of staff surveys are out of date before being received

  • Questions are often not about things that the local manager can

impact

We Love Surveys believe in everyday feedback

We give front line managers and organisations information about how their customer and colleagues feel every day, allowing them to react quickly to challenges and issues. We help you to increase customer satisfaction and turnover through better service delivered by happy people

Overview of the facilitated workshop approach

Notes

  • Workshop should be as interactive as possible; our role is to facilitate not consult
  • All outputs should be captured and wrapped up into a playback deck of the day
  • Avoid discussions on technology selection; the purpose is to agree priorities and next steps

A facilitated workshop will create alignment on business priorities, lock in sponsorship for analytics and develop a 30-60-90 plan to accelerate your capability

C R A F T E D B Y C O N C E N T R A

Some practical questions:

  • How complete and how ‘big’ do the data need to be?
  • Who should be the owner of People Analytics? HR? Finance? Someone else?
  • How to build a team? Internal vs. external capabilities
  • Who is the audience for HR Analytics?
  • What impact can HR Analytics have?
  • What tools should we use? Existing vs. new tools
  • What could we stop doing?

Discuss the question on your table with your group

slide-61
SLIDE 61

There are many traps in HR analytics, that you need to be aware of. But there is too much value here to ignore

Common issues include:

  • Sample size
  • False correlation
  • Meaningfulness
  • Prediction
  • Treating people as mechanisms

Common opportunities include:

  • Predictable issues that the organisation prefers to

ignore – especially in workforce planning

  • The cost of attrition and absence
  • The link between manager action and staff

performance

  • Middle data
  • Differences in performance in role

C R A F T E D B Y C O N C E N T R A

Common statistical traps

When performing analysis, keep in mind that data can often be misrepresentative – think hard to avoid jumping to erroneous conclusions

The Ecological Fallacy An ecological fallacy is a logical fallacy in the interpretation of statistical data where inferences about the nature of individuals are deduced from inference for the group to which those individuals belong. Taking correlation for causation A correlation is just a number. It happens to calculate the strength of a linear relationship between variables, but it does not carry any information about causation. Ignoring statistical significance The greater the standard deviation, the less likely you can draw the conclusion. The smaller the sample size, the greater the danger. Be aware that the world is full of wrong and dangerous analysis and statistics Trap 1 Trap 2 Trap 3

What if the business is focused on 'Spans and Layers'?

  • Overlay business results: the aims everyone agrees on
  • Catch people doing things right
  • Explain value of converting managerial overhead to preferred ways to

invest time

  • Talk about the changes in the ways of working – what to stop – to allow a

reduced span of control and make the business more effective

  • What enablers are coming this way that will make the business cheaper to

run?

Tips: Analyse spans and layers in context

Exercise: Each group is given a set of visuals. Look at the questions below and choose the visual(s) that can best answer each question

Questions: 1. Are there any opportunities to streamline span of control and layer mix? 2. How many high performers (scale 1-10 with 10 being the highest) in certain area (e.g. Birmingham or Head Office) have less than 2 years of tenure? 3. Are there any correlations between large spans of control and performance? And what about Absence days?

The RAD framework

Do away with the complexity from other systems such as RACI, RASIC, RAPID R

Responsible

You are ultimately responsible for ensuring the end result or output of the work is achieved. You understand and manage the delivery and approvals required to be able to deliver the end result.

A

Approve

Veto power on a decision and sign off actions

D

Deliver

Deliver the work, e.g. provide information, analysis and other support to person responsible

Keep it simple Throw out complexity

A* In the RACI definition, A stands for Accountable. I = Informs. Needs to be informed of the outcome of the decision or process C = Consulted. Needs to be consulted prior to an outcome/decision being reached

A* I C

Note: In the Data-Driven Design Book, it was the RAS rather than RAD model. S stood for Supporting the person Responsible in actually doing and delivering the work. This has now been made more explicit with D for Deliver.

Roles

slide-90
SLIDE 90

C R A F T E D B Y C O N C E N T R A

Sample questions to test whether each role makes sense

  • Is it doable, is the role over-loaded?
  • Would it be motivating?
  • Could you find someone to do it?
  • Is it one FTE or multiple?
  • If multiple, then how would you determine the number of FTEs required?
  • Is the level of the work consistent?
  • Would the role have sufficient purpose?
  • What decision-rights and responsibilities does the role entail?
  • What are the key process outcomes?
  • What sort of competencies would be required?

Pick one role and answer whether or not the role makes sense

View #1. HR Analytics journey will be like playing the piano

Description Correlation Causation Prediction Prescription

Very difficult to establish Causation in organizational data, because of the number

  • f uncontrolled variables

Prediction may be possible, but

  • ften you would want intervene –

so you will jump to Prescription, and by intervening, change the behaviour of the system

Hindsight Insight Foresight For our team to be able to do HR Analytics at each end

  • f the keyboard, from descriptive to predictive, not

seeing it as a series of necessarily sequential steps.

Examples of Predictive Analytics

  • Recruitment: which profiles of employees will be most effective in their jobs?
  • Demographics
  • Channels
  • Education (UtilityCo)
  • Psychological profiles (Elkjop)
  • Retention
  • % probability of departure in next year, forecast date of departure (Watson, Visier)
  • Attrition as a function of interventions e.g. New Starter Day (Maersk), training & coaching (Starbucks – after 2 years)
  • Performance
  • Engagement scores as fn (last year’s engagement)
  • Performance scores as fn (engagement, last year’s performance, training completion)
  • Accident rate as fn (engagement)
  • Engagement scores as fn (action taken)
