How much time are you losing looking for the information you need? A Forrester survey found an average of 12 hours a week is lost by employees looking for what they need, leading to reduced #employeengagent poor #descisionmaking and increased errors. "#Knowledgeworkers reported spending nearly 29% of their week (11.6 hrs) searching for the key information they need to do their work. This struggle to find the right information is the No. 1 reason employees say they’re feeling disengaged." https://bit.ly/48pBgsf

It’s one of my favorite cities by far. 🇬🇧 Pair that with data-driven HR strategy and you got my personal dream combination. So, I’m really bummed that I am unable to speak at People Analytics World this week. But hey, circumstances happen and community is neither only one point in time nor just a face to face thing. So virtually here we go, let’s talk about an analytics use case which I think is highly relevant these days: organizational effectiveness. Most firms are trying to get to a healthier state which promises sustainable and profitable growth. Since people data = business data, people metrics play a huge role on this journey. And, in my opinion it’s easy to get started. What could 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘺 look like for your firm? Start investigating some foundation metrics every people department has. _ Headcount development over time, if possible include projections based on existing insights (hires, leavers, moves) _Distribution of workforce along job levels, spans and layers or manager/employee ratio, DE&I stats _Now add a layer on top leveraging your company philosophies such as a talent strategy, location strategy, or your approach to compensation 𝘜𝘱𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭 your people team on those metrics you’re looking at. What do they mean, why they are relevant and how are they are calculated. Explain the results, what does good or bad look like in comparison to benchmark or even just within your own company. Brainstorm potential actions and impact areas. Whatever you find in your data set, focus on the impact it has and therefore why it matters. This way, you make sure you create a real value case and act as strategic partner to your business. In which areas do you think people data matters most?

In a world where we have an abundance of information, it's only natural that we focus on using data to understand and improve the experiences of our employees. This process is known as people analytics. At its core, people analytics means using data to help us make better decisions about managing and supporting our employees. One common way we do this is through performance reviews. We measure and quantify the achievements and performance of our employees and then use this information to decide on things like pay raises and promotions.🎖️ In some companies, the data we gather can also be incredibly valuable for enhancing our hiring processes. This means helping job applicants have a smoother experience and making our internal recruiting processes more effective and informed. Using Data, we can hire the right people for the position and not be swayed by Impression and bias. 🔍Now, let's think about productivity. What if we started measuring the number of keystrokes an employee makes, the number of meetings they attend, or the emails they send? Would this help us, as managers, make better decisions, or might it make employees feel like their every move is being watched and they're just a tiny part of a big machine? Balancing the benefits of using data to improve decision-making with the importance of respecting employees' feelings and sense of autonomy is crucial. It's about finding the right ways to use data to enhance our understanding and support of our employees, without making them feel like they're under a microscope.

"Regardless of the desire or direction to use data in the decision-making process, the decision might yield the same result if the data is no good. According to surveyors, the consequences of poor data are extensive, and many employees are blaming it for their shortfalls or pain points at work. Nearly a third (32%) of employees said they lack the information needed to do their job when they don’t have enough data. That not only inhibits productivity but also creates stress as tasks pile up. Fifteen percent of employees said bad data causes them to have constant notifications across multiple applications, and a nearly identical 13% said bad data increases their workloads." #data #productivity #finance https://lnkd.in/dkbE3qCH

Productivity isn't the golden metric. Honestly -- there isn't ONE. If you're measuring success with a singular data point, you're missing all the complexities that make up your workforce. An excerpt from an article by Deloitte "...productivity metrics aren’t likely accounting for the increase in “invisible” work that many workers are experiencing as organizations shift to more open-ended work models, and where more work is performed beyond the formal scope of one’s job. 71% of survey respondents say they are performing work outside of their stated scope of job responsibility, invalidating the productivity metrics put in place. Instead, you need a combination of metrics that is unique to your organization, mission, and purpose. How are you measuring the success of the organization, and the well-being of the employees responsible for driving that success? #productivity #innovation #workplacewellbeing #success #benchmarking

There is no understanding of data if there is 𝙉𝙊 trust within a company. Trust is the glue that ensures that all aspects of a company are operating effectively. Whether you are in DEI, HR, IT, other aspects of a company, or the C-suite space, trust will determine effectiveness. If employees do not trust the company, there will never be any indication that there are barriers or opportunities to enhance operations, invalidating the data collection process. The goal of leaders, executives, consultants, etc. should be to ensure there are healthy work relations that are built on trust. Only then will the current state of the organization be understood based on operations, employee experiences and needs, and outcomes. 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝�� 𝙞𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙮'𝙨 𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙖?
