    In order to do so, HR must ensure that metrics and measures are used effectively to achieve strategic goals. This course focuses on identifying
    effective data sources, developing meaningful metrics, designing long-term measures, and applying results in support of org...

    I didn't gain any practical knowledge on the subject matter. It was only theoretical which made it mundane. Also, this course is good for thise people who have had prior work experience. Not recommended for freshers as you won't be able to relate to the information.

    0 stars. This is just a collection of sources to read through that you could easily find on your own and which would be more recently updated. Half of the sources it directs you to either don't exist or it takes you to LinkedIn learning which is not free, so you'd have to pay twice for the same content, or else just stick to LinkedIn. Big waste of time, glad I only audited this course rather than pay for it.

    Human resource analytics is a critical component of human resource management. It is a well-designed course that will provide you with in-depth knowledge of data analysis using the metric system.

    This course is more about HR Metrics than analytics. Recommended reading is very inspirational, the course itself, not as much. Also, it would be nice to get an intro video from the tutor explaining the course structure as it is different to the previous courses I have taken on Coursera. Anyway, you can make your own opinion. Happy Learning! ;-)

    This is a good course for someone already within the HR industry starting to think more about strategy but are still in an execution role. This is not an instructor lead class. It's links to online articles and then powerpoint with a voice over. Also, I was frustrated with the somewhat misleading quiz questions/answers that actually contradicted what was said in the presentation or inadequately summarized the material leading to less than clear best answer.

    A nice overview of the subject, introduced important basic concepts and prescriptions. Would have been useful to have a bit more instruction on how to complete some of the concepts that were mentioned. Being able to clearly understand the steps involved in running a variable regression analysis for example would have been of value. Over all the course was of benefit, though it lacked a bit of rigor.C

    The answers as they relate to the questions on the knowledge checks, appear off and unnecessarily difficult. Also after all of the work that I'd completed, my name is not even on the certificate.

    This course gives us a very good fundamental understanding the importance of data and data analytics in HR. It will be much better if the course also give us an example, starting from a scratch, how to build one of important HR analytics. Start from how to get and gather this data, how to transform the data (including lots of data cleanup if necessary), translate it to data points, visualize the data, and give context so it can be an insights. But overall, this is the place to start

    Relevant topics and excellent to consider in HR functions, however a lot of the articles are outdated (pre-2020) and a lot has changed in the workplace since then.

    The Pros: The course was simple to navigate. The slides were easy to understand and didn't have a bunch of extra unnecessary info. I love that this course was easily attainable in a short amount of time, as I'm a person in the middle of a career change.

    The Cons: This is probably preference, but the videos were a bit longer than other courses I've taken. Not by much, they were less than 20 mins per video. I find that it tricks the mind if you chop those videos in half to more chewable chunks (but that's just me). The questions at times were a bit difficult to understand, particularly the ones that ask the question in reverse (ie "what is NOT an example of...). And some of the answers were so similar that you think it could be either, or a couple of the answers could BE the correct answer (if you're someone like me, who is trying to pick the correct answer, and saying in your head "well technically..."). When you take the quiz, they give you feedback on each answer, but sometimes after reading the feedback on the answers you missed, you're still sitting there like, "ok, what's the answer then?" And a couple of them, I still don't know the answer to. If you have to retake the test, don't blaze through it, because although the questions were in the same order, the answer order was switched up, so pay attention to that.

    Tips: Read the articles/watch the video she gives you as the supplemental information! I thought that it was just extra reading that you could ALSO read in your leisure time, but a good deal of the answers are in those articles! And they actually weren't that bad of articles, very simple to get through that you can read in like 5 mins.

    While the course offers great principles that are not influenced by the big changes the pandemic caused within the work environment, it could do with some updating with regards to current trends. Most articles date from 2020 or before.

    This one of the best course which is very helpful to understand human resources analytics.I recently completed the Human Resources Analytics course, and it was an insightful and highly valuable experience. The course provided a comprehensive understanding of how data-driven decisions can transform HR practices. The blend of theoretical concepts and practical applications made it both engaging and useful for professionals looking to leverage data in HR functions. Content Quality: The course covered key topics such as workforce analytics, employee performance metrics, and predictive analytics in HR. It was packed with real-world case studies, examples, and tools that can be immediately applied to improve HR processes. The course material was well-organized and easy to follow, even for those who don't have a strong background in data analysis. Instructors: The instructors were knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the subject matter. They provided excellent explanations, and their practical insights helped bridge the gap between theory and practice. The course also included interactive elements like quizzes and assignments, which helped reinforce key concepts. Practical Application: What stood out the most was how the course emphasized using data analytics to solve real HR challenges. From hiring and talent management to employee engagement and retention, the course taught how to use data effectively to make informed HR decisions. It also covered the tools and software commonly used in the industry, which was incredibly helpful for understanding how analytics are integrated into day-to-day HR operations. Areas for Improvement: While the course was comprehensive, I would have liked more hands-on experience with real data sets or case studies to further deepen my practical skills. Additionally, a deeper dive into ethical considerations in HR analytics would have been useful, given the sensitivity of handling employee data. Overall Rating: I highly recommend this course to HR professionals or anyone interested in data-driven decision-making in human resources. It provides a solid foundation in HR analytics, equipping learners with the knowledge and tools to bring analytical thinking into HR strategies. If you're looking to enhance your HR decision-making process with data, this course is definitely worth your time.
