Bill Banham is joined in HRchat episode 481 by Ian Cook, Vice President, People Analytics at Visier, to talk all things people analytics.
Ian is an advocate for the crucial role that people play in helping companies thrive. His career has focused on enabling people, teams and companies to perform at their best. For the last 15 years, Ian has been helping leaders elevate their HR strategies and programs through the effective use of people analytics. At Visier, Ian led the development of their market-leading solution and is now focused on the overall strategy for the people analytics business.
Questions For Ian Include:
- In your work you talk about a People Impact Gap. What is this gap and why do you think it is so important?
- So if this gap exists and is crucial to business, what does it take to close the gap? - Do you have any examples?
- You recently commented on research by Raj Chetty that identifies the impact of networks on people's ability to access better opportunities. Why does the ability to network with people in a higher economic bracket enable people to improve their own economic mobility?
- What advice would you give an HR leader who is looking to start closing this gap or even improve how they are supporting their business?
- "HR is evolving from being focused on its programs and activities to helping people managers make better decisions in the flow of work". Can you paint a picture of how People Analytics technologies have evolved over the past 10 years and the leaps forward in ways to better understand how employees behave and perform caused by/alongside the pandemic?
