I only partly agree with Armand Sohet, because experience shows that the time saved will not be used to focus on impactful work. On the one hand, saved time will be immediately filled by new tasks or to achieve objectives more quickly. Leveraging technology is simply a managerial task to fix things. #BusinessIsBusiness HR will make a #QuantumLeap when it allows itself to support talents and leaders to embrace the #EmotionalLandscape of an organization and a team, helping to lead and serve more consciously. #BusinessIsHuman #LeadershipBeyondBusiness See the quote from #LeaderAsHealer by Nicholas Janni - Book of the Year 2023 below 👇

Painting the future of HR with AI, People Analytics and Curiosity. See: https://lnkd.in/eq_5VScv “In terms of productivity, analytics has allowed us to identify areas for cost savings and efficiency improvements quickly.

How Novartis Use People Data and Analytics to Navigate Business Transformation: https://lnkd.in/ee4DRAFm “The two areas in which (people analytics supported the transformation) was number one, helping establish a clean, clear baseline for the part of the population in scope of the transformation. The second big contribution we made was around helping the organisation understand how the change was landing and our Employee Listening team played a very critical role here.” In this week’s episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, my guest is Ashish Pant, Global Head of People Analytics and Data at Novartis, who established the people analytics function at Novartis in 2019, and has led the team ever since. In our conversation Ashish and I discuss: 📈 How Novartis has built a successful people analytics function in three distinct phases: Start-up, Scale, and Maturity; 📊 Examples of people analytics projects including how the team played a pivotal role in the recent business transformation at Novartis 📈 The metrics and KPIs used to gauge the success of the business transformation; 📊 How the structure of the people analytics team has evolved, with a deep-dive on two key roles: People Insights Partners and Behavioural Scientists 📈 How to build a data-driven and data-literate HR function “There are three spaces within behaviour science where I believe there's tremendous opportunity (for people analytics). The first one is what I call psychological constructs. The second one is change management. (And) the third one is the whole space of nudging.” A huge thank you to Ashish for sharing his time and expertise, as well as Adedamola Adeleke, Jake Sorofman, Ian Cook, Andrea Derler, Carla Williams and the rest of the Visier Inc. team for sponsoring this series of the Digital HR Leaders podcast.

In a famous article called "Why we hate HR" Keith Hammonds said that HRs have no seat at the table, "the table is locked inside a conference room to which they have no key”. One of the keys to open that door is technology. The language of management committees and Boards is that of figures, and this is not the place where HR jargon is going to be heard. The technologies available today enable the function to be one step ahead, not one step behind. Of course, you have to love figures and analysis, and know how to extract valuable insights from the oceans of data available, and that presupposes a great deal of preliminary work on the architecture and harmonization of your data. But it's well worth the effort. Thank you to David Green 🇺🇦 Green Stefan Kesić, Jasmine Panayides, Manpreet Randhawa for your invitation to the podcast and thank you Dirk Jonker and team for offering us CruncHR, an incredible tool for directing business actions. https://lnkd.in/e8M6X6-U
