About this Course

The purpose of Evidence-Based HR is to help HR practitioners and the HR function as a whole become more effective.  It does this by using the best available evidence from multiple sources and of multiple types to first understand the key issues facing the business and then to identify what HR can do to help the business resolve the issues identified.
In other words, Evidence-Based HR is a process which enables the function to make much better-informed answers to two fundamental questions:  What is the nature of the challenges faced by the business?  What can HR do to help the business meet those challenges.

This course is aimed at all HR practitioners who want to make better use of different types of data and evidence to understand the issues faced the business and identify solutions and interventions that are most likely to help resolve those issues.
