People Data as a Business Accelerant: Democratizing Insights for Superior Performance, Featuring Visier Customer Merck

In this last session of our six-part series, Jason will guide you through putting the pieces together and scaling people data insights across your business to many—or even all—people leaders.

In this final webinar, Jason will be joined by Merck’s Jill Sparacio, Associate Director of Workforce Analytics, and Darcy Varga, Associate Director of HR Reporting & Insights. Jill and Darcy will discuss why data insights are most powerful in the hands of all people managers—not just within HR—and how they plan to fully democratize their workforce data.

Exciting research proves definitively that when companies have strong people analytics capabilities, they financially outperform other organizations—by at least a 7% increase in return on assets and 8% increase in profit margin. But how exactly does this causal link help you achieve this kind of return on investment? And more importantly, how do business leaders use it to outsmart the competition?

Watch this expert roundtable featuring Lexy Martin, one of the authors of the study and former head of the SierraCedar/Sapient Insights HR Systems Survey, to dive into the key findings that lead to and predict financial outperformance. The discussion includes actionable takeaways on how to envision people analytics use throughout your business–from the C-suite to individual people managers–and best practices learned from over 11,000 Visier customers on building a business case for people analytics and advancing your organziations’ capabilities with people data.

Learn how Uber’s Head of People Analytics, RJ Milnor, transformed their people analytics capabilities—and can now serve up new insights as rapidly as business challenges arise. During the chat, you’ll learn:

• How Uber went beyond tracking the ebbs and flows of attrition, to understanding which patterns truly impact business outcomes.
• Why Uber, a company with industry-leading developers, decided NOT to build an in-house people analytics solution.
• The insights that surfaced once Visier allowed Uber to spend time understanding their business instead of data wrangling and number crunching.

People are complex—but making intelligent, informed people decisions doesn’t have to be.

There’s a good reason why employee experience has become more than a buzzword: When approached correctly, it can have a big impact on corporate performance. Achieving results, however, is not all about yoga or foosball tables because the employee experience is deeply rooted in the work itself.

How can HR leaders and people managers help the business focus on the right employee experience levers, in the moments that matter?

Watch this video to learn how HR teams are successfully honing in on the connections between employee experience and business outcomes, and are delivering results for their people and the organisations through a proactive bias free data driven framework.

In this session you’ll learn how to:

• Ask the right questions of your people data to identify where you should focus
• Align your findings with the observations of practitioners to decide where you should dig in
• Act, with a plan designed to respond to the defined problem, and monitor. the results.
