As someone newer to the People Analytics space, I've learned some powerful lessons over the years about this exciting analytic domain. 1. Data is a Tool, Not Always the Answer While data provides valuable insights, it’s essential to combine analytics with human intuition: Numbers tell an important part of the story, but people’s experiences are often critical to fully shape it. 2. Actionable Insights Are the Goal The true value of people analytics lies in translating insights into actionable strategies and programs that enhance employee engagement and drive business performance. 3. Continuous Learning is Key The landscape of people analytics is constantly evolving. Staying informed and adapting to new methods and tools will keep your people analytics team moving forward. Being in an environment that values learning is key. As we continue to leverage analytics in HR across business, keep these lessons in mind and strive for an approach that values actionable insights, learning, and the human experience. #PeopleAnalytics #HRAnalytics #HR #DataDriven
Yes to "tool" not "answer." It indicates a problem or helps explain a solution. It doesn't magically produce any answers without morencontext.
Well said Mitch! People Analytics is so much more than just numbers. I'd like to leave a question here: In what ways can we balance data-driven insights with human intuition to create a more holistic approach to people analytics?
Mitch Mihanovic, wise words on leveraging data and human insights harmoniously for impactful people strategies. Continuous learning keeps us agile. How do you promote a learning culture?
Great summary Mitch! Only thing I would add is storytelling.
Great insights on this!

1moAmen 🙏 The only thing I’d add is that it’s important to take the time to look at data from different angles—sometimes 20 or more—to really uncover the full story. In practice, though, most hypotheses go untested because the current methods needed for this level of analysis are just too time-consuming.
