Sessions structured around timely updates crucial for today’s informed HR and business professionals will include:
• The Importance of Data-Driven HR Strategies
David Bernstein, Vice President of eQuest’s Big Data for HR/Predictive Analytics division
With data increasingly being used to inform every facet of business decision making, it’s imperative that human resource professionals capitalize on the opportunities this data provides. In this interactive session, David will share the importance of a “data-first” mindset, the state of data-driven decision making in HR, and how you can translate results and findings into actions and programs. He’ll invite audience participation and review case studies examining how real companies could benefit from a data-centric approach to talent acquisition, workforce planning and more.
