Data literacy and data-informed decision making for People & Culture
*
Overview
In today’s dynamic People & Culture (P&C) landscape, the ability to confidently understand and work with data is an essential skill. From guiding and supporting organisational strategy to enhancing employee engagement and inclusion, data plays an important role in driving informed and impactful decisions.
This practical course is designed to build data literacy and strengthen confidence in using data to support strategic P&C initiatives. Your team will learn how to interpret, assess, and apply data insights within a structured decision-making framework tailored specifically for P&C leaders.
The course explores foundational data concepts such as accuracy, bias, and reliability, while also developing analytical thinking skills. Your team will learn a six-step decision-making approach and apply it through real-world case studies focused on key areas like engagement, retention, and diversity metrics.
By the end of this course, your team will be empowered to approach data as a valuable asset that enhances influence, leadership, supports evidence-based decisions, and strengthens organisational outcomes.
