Webinars
Analytics for the C-Suite and Every Day
Analytics is all about the journey from data to insight. A single point of data may not mean much, but when you can correlate multiple data points you begin to find meaning. This webinar provide information and perspective on why integration matters when moving from reporting to truly predictive and prescriptive analytics; what you need to know about the science behind the analytics you use every day; and how to focus on asking the right questions from you data.
Research-based Blogs
A Fresh Approach to Career Management
In Brandon Hall Group’s Employment Value Proposition Study, 71% of organizations indicated that opportunities for development are the most critical factor – particularly for top talent and Millennial leaders – in deciding to join or stay with an organization. In this blog, Laci Loew looks at how to offer targeted development opportunities to engage and retain your workforce.
Greatest Impacts on the Employer-Employee Value Proposition
More than 80% of organizations haven’t defined a formal Employer Value Proposition (EVP), according to Brandon Hall Group research. But just because you haven’t defined it doesn’t mean you are not experiencing the impact of your EVP. In his blog, Brandon Hall Group CEO Mike Cooke unveils some of the latest research dealing with this area of HCM and explores some of the related issues.
This is Your Brain on Training
“What do studies show, viewed as a whole? Mostly this: if you wanted to create an education environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you would probably design something like a classroom.” With that, Ben Eubanks kicks off his blog on the neuroscience behind learning, interruptions, and how to make training more effective.
